A friend's salary offer from Accenture turned into hourly with overtime pay. Did they get shafted? Is it common?

Hourly plus overtime means you bill the fuck out of them. You make out like a bandit. It's not like you work less hours with a flat salary

This is a good thing. Trust me. If your friend is I CA they're also required to bill travel time, so that's guaranteed overtime. Also, salary/2000 hours should equal their hourly rate anyway.

I want that...

That's what I get. It's solid. I never work overtime and still have a reasonable salary

C1 are you Accenture?...I may need to switch

Nahh, BAH

Defense can be very dull though tbf, kinda wanna switch to commercial and/or another firm.

Prob great until you hit the beach...

When I was at ACN and hourly and on the bench we were told to continue billing 40 hours (you actually can't bill <40 in the time tool without special approval)

Beach time doesn't matter, you are still guaranteed a certain base salary.

Overtime!?? What!!! I want

So I’m only contributing to 401k enough to get employer match, and I’m saving an additional ~20% and putting 90% of that into my vanguard mutual funds. Reasoning is that I don’t want to lock away all that money maxing out 401k. Have 3 months expenses liquid in a savings account. Is this really dumb?
