Default Most prestigious accounting firm?

Just curious which firm out of the Big 4 you think is the most prestigious. If you respond please list your ranking. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, join the club.

I think PWC and D&T are the biggest. I think PWC is the biggest in my area...they recruit a lot of people from OSU to become accountants.

Do your homework and pick the one with the best business ethics. Prestige really don’t matter when it only takes a few people to ****it up and give the rest of the employees a bad name.

In an organization with over 100,000 employees (all Big 4 firms have at least that) that serve over 130 countries (all Big 4 firms serve at least that, with PwC serving over 144!) its hard to keep track of the few screw-ups that could bring down your firm.

Accounting? Is that like mom telling me I need to be more responsible or accoutable or some shit. I don't know, she started giving me this big lecture while I was mowing the lawn... couldn't really hear her over the sputtering of the mower, damn thing needs to be taken appart. Someone took the air filter for it, so it runs with just raw air in to the carberator.

I've seen chunks fly out of the exhaust. I try to aim them at her when she's been drinkin too much and gets in one of her bitchin fits, sure she then calls the police and well they got those cuffs and those sticks they beat ya with if you shoot that mower crap at them. Then maw comes and bails me out of jail... again...

those jail cells sure do smell. like somoene pissed in the corner or something.
