Graduate School Business School - MBA

<p>I just got an internship at a big4 firm as an actuary. My question is:</p>

<p>When MBA programs look at the resume, will having work experience for a company like PWC or Deloitte and Company look anywhere near as reputable as working for a top I-bank (bulge bracket) or MC Firm (bcg , bain, mercer…).</p>

<p>I might plan on getting an MBA in the future and I just wanted to see how people would look at things.</p>

<p>This thread is just for fun. I?m NOT trying to start a BIG4 VS. I-banks/MC firms for reputation thread (because obviously having goldman or Mckinsey on the resume is hard to match).</p>

<p>Same as above - not even close - even when you’re comparing your big 4 firm to other banks/consulting firms such as MS, ML, Lehman, JPM, Credit Suisse, Bain, BCG, Mercer, Monitor, Parthenon…
It’s just not as competitive. It doesn’t mean it’s not impossible though as I have some classmates from big 4 companies.</p>
