Well 🐠, I did it. Finally got a job offer at a brand name tech company. Only took 6 interviews, 2 panel presentations, 1 rescinded job offer, 20+ hours of preparation, 7 months of waiting, and meanwhile getting passed over twice for internal promotion.

Current: Consultant, $135k, 8 yoe (6 yoe in consulting). HCOL city.
Offer: Pre-sales, $235k (70/30 base/bonus) and $45k RSU

It takes a village. And for me, apparently an ocean. Thank you all! For those looking - don’t give up on yourself.

I’m a tech consultant working in the SAP practice. I’m a second year associate. I have decided that I don’t like the culture of consulting - work more hours, always add more work and responsibility to your plate, etc. I would like to work a job that is more 9-5 that doesn’t expect you to work in so many different things at once. What industry roles should I be applying to? Is leaving after 1.5 years too soon?

Hello I'm currently a Consultant in my second year at Accenture. Prior to that I had 10 years in industry. I had an initial conversation with TCS regarding an Industry Advisor position. Second interview scheduled for this week. I currently have a comp of 120, told them I'd be looking at 160 which was not an issue..

With that said can anybody shed some insight on what the move to TCS would be as Industry Advisor from the consultant with Accenture? Is that a level between M and SM at Accenture?
