I'll 99% accept Deloitte. Everyone there is so friendly and it seems like an awesome place to work and learn.
The only thing that could sway me is if I get through EY process and get an offer in transaction tax (M&A tax compliance/advisory). Then I'd have a really tough decision - but if I don't get through, or get an offer with another division (although Business Tax advisory seems cool too) then Deloitte FTMFW!
Side note: The people at Deloitte, are on a whole, a lot nicer and friendly than any other big 4 firm (IMO), so it's a big plus for me.
Goodluck for those still searching
It really depends on what you are looking for in a firm, I'll personally be happy with any of the Big 4. I have a few friends who did vacs at Deloitte and I think the attraction I had towards it, was because my friends pretty much told me how laid back it was. However, Deloitte was also the only company out of the 4 that didn't really suit the division I intended to apply for. I applied for Audit (non-financial) at EY, KPMG & PwC, but due to Deloitte being less reputable in this area in Australia I went Growth Solutions for them.
Either way, EY and Deloitte didn't like me =[ So I'll see what happens at PwC, though I think most people already have a preconception of what they are like. I'm very happy to work at KPMG regardless, though I haven't really had an opportunity to really compare it to somewhere else.
