I've lived and worked in both, and there is good and bad with both places. In a very general sense, Calgary is much more corporate and white collar than Edmonton. The cities work together on practically everything though. You will often times find an engineering firm in Calgary that has their warehouse or development shop in Edmonton. Edmonton has a more thriving manufacturing sector than Calgary and is maybe a better jumping off point to many O&G projects.
No offense but sales, consulting and accounting don't really seem to go together to me as a new career. What is your degree in?
