Pwc Or Deloitte

mehn, im so happy for u, congrats , il advice u to go for pwc, cos, 1. they pay better, 2. its a bigger plus on your cv, anytin deloitte has to offer u, i tink PWC can do much more, and deloitte entry level is less dan 1.2m

hey,i beg u plenty,run straight to pwc,they dont only pay well,they also promote on a yearly basis.best of luck, pls let me know if therte is an opening anytime soon,i mean the next recruitment exercise. thanks a dollion

I worked in Deloitte, pls go to PWC for the following reasons

PWC is better recognised in "Nigeria" than Deloitte.
Deloitte's promotion is largely based on ICAN qualification while PWC's is on performance at least before u become a manager.
A lot of my ex-colleagues who left Deloitte for PWC never regretted doing that.
I my years in Deloitte, I only saw people cross from AWD to PWC and never the other way except for a Director from PWC who became a partner in AWD.

Empirical evidence shows that PWC is beta although truth be told a lot of restructuring is going on now in AWD by the Deloitte oyinbos just so as to catch up with KPMG and PWC.

Wish u the best in yr career. On a final note how u work and what u learn is more important than where u av worked.

what of PWC and KPMG

WHICH ONE IS BETTER??

@ bigtee

If i wozzzzzzzzz u,deloitte who?

@ poster run to PWC.Bigtee is just been sentimental, he understands what i mean.
Cheers

i dont know what ure talking about but i know in pwC you work on weekends too.
when its nearing the year end of the banks, u can be rest assured u'll work on sundays too till midnite
kpmg and pwC are same in terms of working conditions

in pay, yeah kpmg is better
overall, i prefer kpmg by a billion miles

maybe First Bank and Union but not the other banks

PWC or DELOITTE???

I would advise you go for PWC of course. If only I had my ways I would opt for PWC without giving it a second thought.

Training is a personal thing don't be deceived that Deloitte does it better than PWC.

@ dayo please tell him ohhhhh!!!!!

delloitte whaaaaaaaaaaat??

Pls read my post very well before making your comment.  I never said you dont work on weekend at PWC but they are more flexible.  Only audit guys are expected to work on weekends and this will depend on the deadline agreed with clients for the completion of audit engagements.  Other divisions dont compel their staff to do that.  PWC allows their staff to work from home occassionally.

I dont think you are in a better position to say which one is better between the two.  I have worked with both firms and I know the one I prefer when it comes to working condition.  Concerning pay, you cannot compare the pay of entry level staff at PWC or KPMG to those of UBN or FBN like you stated in your post.  That is very misleading.    As at 2006, entry level staff at KPMG (ICAN path) were earning N2.1M and those not in ICAN path were earning N2.3M.  So tell me how you can compare that to  what FBN and UBN pay their staff?

pwc!!!!!!!!!pwc!!!!!!!!pwc!!!!!!!!! i once worked there and i can tell u without any doubt that its a lovely place to be.

ol boi relax

i dont have time for too much talk. Youre not the only one who worked in the coys in question. A lotta guys have passed thru those coys and i can be categorical that u may need to re-check your 'facts'

in terms of pay, just like i said, the entry level of the coys can be compared to the banks i mentioned.
The entry level pay for those in Audit in KPMG is less than 2.1million  but greater than 2.0 million as at today 24-june-2009 so what are you on about?
check your facts pls

and if you read well, i have told you my facts are based on 2009 figures.
the banks in question will match KPMGs pay as at today. (entry level)
FYI, the difference in pay betwen those on ICAN track and those that are not is  about 30,000 after all deductions
You can check.

And PwC is not internationally recognized?
And PwC is not equally powerful on your CV?
And with PwC you can not learn and liaise with colleagues world-wide? 

Let me take note of your username. I definitely wouldn't be taking any advice from you seriously.

Why have you chosen to argue blindly?  Must you give misleading information for the sake of winning an argument?

How much do you think it cost KPMG to sponsor an employee to take each diet of ICAN (you can only take one diet per year except staff taking the foundation stage)?  The cost of attending lecture at Wyse or SAFE (which are the two they use) is more than N30k per diet, with the cost of transportation which is approximately N10k per person.  The firm also pay the cost of the exams which in most cases is about N25K and each staff will be given 6 weeks holiday to prepare for the exams and the days of the exams to sit.

If the salary of a staff per month is about N200K, the total cost to the firm to sponsor the exams per year is about N300K (30+10+25+225)K.  I qualified when I was with them and I still communicate with my friends who are now managers (i had to call them again today to confirm this).

You have not justified this advice.

You have opportunity to be trained in either of the two.  Staff are usually sent to attend trainings mostly in Europe and US and at times SA.  PWC is flexible with the charter you pursue but KPMG is not.  At KPMG, staff are only expected to take ICAN but PWC gives you options between ICAN and ACCA.

If you want to be in Tax, KPMG is the place to be as they have a well structured Tax division.  However, PWC offers more in other areas such as transaction services, business advisory, audit, etc.  The most important is the flexible working conditions (this is based on my experience with the two).
