All depends what type of consulting you're interested in. I've worked for both Consulting Services in a big 4, and then accepted a position w/in PwC's Advisory practice. If you join an Accenture, IBM, Deloitte, Capgemini type firm - you'll be exposed to a lot of system/software development, technology engagements. Your ability to gain significant project management experience at a firm like this is very likely given the size of the typical software implementation. Advisory on the other hand really focuses on clients processes, and claims that their resources have the big 4 consulting experience to identify improvement opportunities, and propose recommendations.
I didn't see that unfortunately. My feeling is that the legacy Big 4 Tax/Audit firms are looking to re-establish their MC practices, but limit the services provided and not include the system implementations and software development engagement. It's a niche market in my opinion, and almost an extension of the audit practice. Auditing SI engagements if you will.
The work really wasn't all that interesting for me unfortunately, and I ended up leaving the practice. However, as a college grad - check it out, see if you like it. PwC is a stellar firm, and the leadership team is very impressive.

thank you pwccgy
i appreciate your feedback. while i am no longer a fresh college grad (been out working for nearly 4 years), i am still interested in seeing what PwC has to offer -- especially b/c i am a bit more interested in the process side of things rather than software/systems technology. i've received a lot of good feedback about the firm (including your comments), so while it might not be the end all/be all, it could possibly be the best next step. thanks again!
