Hi Fishes, I grabbed an offer at Accenture with 12 LPA fixed for Level 9. I'm not getting a retention offer from my current company at 13.5 lpa. How do I go about a counter offer with Accenture HR? Also tell me how to approach this situation smoothly.
If HR doesn't fulfill the counter offer, is it ok to accept 12 lpa fixed for Level 9 and when will I get a hike here and how much would it be approximately?
Accenture Please provide your insights. This is my first switch so I ne more exposure

You're 2 years out of school, making 6fig fully remote with 8 weeks PTO, where is the grass greener?
I wish I had this at 24
I’m like you too. I work like 20 hours/week, hybrid not remotely though. Make 125k and am absolutely coasting. I’ve been at my company for 6 years and am so bored. I just want to make more money and am willing to grind longer hours to do so. Looking to retire early so more in my pocket now is better for my goals. If I burn out, I can definitely return to the same company/industry later on.
I’m in a VHCOL area and 70-80k starting salaries for corporate jobs are the norm here. In mortgage industry. I’m “working” for 40 hours but it really comes out to about 20 hours of actual work.
Nah, don’t think it’s greed, but I’d dig deeper and find out if it’s truly about the money or is it the company/industry/fully remote, etc. What’s truly causing that feeling of “wanting more”?
Without knowing COL, that package seems fair for someone just out of school. Those yearly pay bumps are desirable for sure.
With that said, doesn’t hurt to ride the wave and look for other roles when the market is more favorable
Maybe im just a cynic but I have accepted that I will likely never feel that what I do has a higher purpose. I see my 9-5 as a way to fund my hobbies (traveling, skiing, off-roading/camping).
That “wanting more” feeling I would say is driven primarily by my want to be able to participate in any of my hobbies without really having to worry about the cost, obviously within reason of course.
As far as COL is concerned, I’ve lived in both Austin and Houston since graduating and feel that what I make is more than enough to live and have fun comfortably.
No degree so I had to maneuver around different companies in banking started of at $15 per hour As a part time teller to 85k as a analyst 4 years ago use your connections and don't be loyal to anyone but yourself.
You’re in a role that has bumped your pay 30k in 2 years. Most roles don’t do that except for promotions
We should have greedy / not greedy pills, like the AITA forums.

To answer your question simply, yes, it would considered being greedy given your time in position, early career skills/experience and the current total rewards package vs industry. I think your pay is leading in the market and your company must value you given the significant increases in 2 years.
You may need to reflect and ask if the roles is giving your purpose and passion and fulfillment of your long term growth. The money is there for sure and your col is great compared to pay.
However, I would recommend you build those experiences and skills in the first 5 years and then you’ll start to see significant role increases which will come with large pay bumps, bonus and equity.
Best of luck! But yep, that’s good humble brag to us!
