Shell Vs Kpmg

Hi guys,

I am a recent UK masters graduate in need of advice on the issue.

I need answers as to which of these companies offer better future job prospects for a career starter like myself.

This is not about money. It is about long-term prospects.

I have a finance related educational background and am seeking an international career.

Please advice. Comments would be sincerely appreciated.

Thank you so much for your comment. It does make alot of sense to go with KPMG.

Thank you

Thank you! However, would you also conclude that KPMG looks better on the CV than Shell?

Actually i think i can give you first hand advice on this. i know for a fact that shell will pay you much more than you will know what to do with in the first years of working. you'll probably, in fact defintely afford to be a big guy and live out your dreams because you'll be able to afford it. kpmg will allow you to have an okay life. and a shot at a good start. the down side of shell is that you will not be able to rise as far and as fast as if you are at KPMG where it is sure that for every year with good output, you should be promoted. for shell however you can only move so far and so high, because the management positions cannot be given to every one. and most definitely it will favour the expatriates before the naija man can be considered. then finally for all the time you would have spent in shell and with the time you have put in there, your value doesn't necessarily appreciate. on the other hand, with every year you spend with KPMG, you have the oppurtunity to improve on your knowledge base as well as imropve your added value. you need to take a look at the list of ex-kpmg employees and their current profile. if you are still undecided about where you would like to go to, think about the normal laws of nature, where things have to grow and the big bang theory which does not necessarily fly with every one things must grow, start small and grow from there. there is no need to get big and then get to a point where there is no further growth. so my dear, take your time but think through what you want to do and your reasons.
