Accenture fish, I'm a recent experienced hire... why does no one accept calendar invites on a large contract?

Seems completely disorganized when you never know who can commit to the meeting or not. Didn't see this behavior at other consulting groups.

I auto-accept everything in my outlook so it makes it to my calendar but I'm not attending every meeting invite that gets sent to me. In my case it depends on the context of the meeting and who sent it. I have tons of overlapping meetings everyday so I couldn't attend them all if I wanted to (I don't)

A question from a youngster. Is working at a big big company with slightly low pay better or working at a much smaller company with higher pay better?

In the future, after a few years, let’s say I’m at a small company and want to switch to big big company, will the “small names” hurt my chance to get into the big doors?

I mean big big company is like 10x bigger than the small one if this was a factor. Assume everything else the same, WLB, commute, teams, etc.

Hi ! I have gotten an offer via email for what I believe is level 9 data visualization specialist in the dc area. I have a masters and 3.5 years of consulting experience. I’ve gotten an initial offer and trying to get some context on what the range is for this and whether I should push for more or accept. It is 5,000 above what I said my minimum was, but is significantly more than my current salary. Thanks for any input :)
