Hey guys!

I’m currently a senior with major in Computer Engineering and need to decide on an offer for post graduation. If anyone has any experience with the job roles listed below or the companies please weigh in. Here are my options:


Accenture - This is a technology consulting role. I’ll be working from the NY office but will need to travel to client sites as this is a consulting position.
Citi - I’ll be working as a technology analyst in NY.
JP Morgan - Again, this is a technology analyst position in NY.


All 3 companies are offering competitive compensation with Accenture offering the most.
I want to use my first job to gain technical experience, learn and network in order to ultimately work in a technology firm as software engineer. Therefore, quality of projects that I work on matters a lot.
Basically, I need to decide whether I want to go the technology consulting route or technology-analyst-in-a-bank route. I don’t mind the travel that is involved in consulting. I actually like the idea of working at different client sites.

Thanks guys!
