Deloitte vs. EY

I recently received two 2026 audit & assurance internship offers and need help deciding between the two. It's between Deloitte and EY.

• Pay: About the same, same signing bonus, only a one dollar difference
• Connected a lot better with the Deloitte senior manager than the EY sm during the interview
  • But also connected better with the EY partner than the Deloitte partner
• Both would pay for my trip to their conferences

Which company would be better for my future? As of this moment, I'm thinking about working at a Big4 for a couple of years and then moving to industry (but that could change). Any differences in career progression? Work culture? Better benefits after signing full-time? etc.

I know that either way it will be rough with busy season, but any insights would be appreciated!
