Economy plus at booking will be worth it

Steep but it does get you group 1 ...

Worth it because of international lounge access IMO, if you fly somewhat frequently

Fly pretty often

Not often enough to even renew gold?

Hi All,
How's the job security at Accenture as such? I know that last year, they sacked people ruthlessly and now are facing a resource crunch. Also that they mandatorily place poor performers in PIP.

But how is it in general? Should I perform as per expectation, can I be relaxed about the job security aspect or do you always need to be on your toes?
