Interviewed for a SM role at Accenture. Situational and with 2 other SMs for a smallish group. Last SM said to “expect a package next”. It’s been a week and nothing. Not even sure I would want the position, so hesitating reaching out, but I assume they’re interviewing others (or I’m being ghosted). Normal? It was a bit of a bizarre experience, which is another reason for my hesitation.

Pretty annoyed as the feedback seems all talk, I'm not progressing as I want, and I'm not being challenged at all. How should I approach talking to my coach and senior manager on my project about this?

I spoke to a EY Recruiter today. She asked for my range for a manager role on the Federal side. I said 150-175 base. The role is in DC. She informed me that is more in the SM range and she would reach out if there was a SM opportunity she had available. I’ve been in industry for more than 10 years. I didn’t think 150-175 base was too high for a manager role with Big 4 in DC. I make close to these figures now. Am I going to take a pay cut coming from industry to consulting?

EY-Parthenon 🐠! Looking to exit from a Big 4 M&A IT practice as a Manager to EY-P into the Senior Director role. The person I spoke to let me know that SM at my company was SD at EY-P.

Could anyone here DM me Principal or SD names that I can connect with. I’ll reach out to them on LinkedIn. Thanks in advance. @
