Accenture harder to get in than Harvard? Julie Sweet (CEO of Accenture) to HBR: "(...) And when you think about hiring, we’ve actually added to our workforce in the tightest labor market in history, at least our history, 200,000 people in the last 18 months. Over that time, we’ve had 4.6 million resumes." So an acceptance rate of 4.3%.

So If they hiring the best, why are they looking to can thousands come October? Makes no sense.

If God wills it

Perhaps if Accenture (or any company) charged applicants $85 per application like Harvard, the acceptance rate would be quite different.

I’ve worked in sales for 12 years (8 years retail sales and management, 4 years inside tech sales and management). I’m feeling the burn and looking for something else in the tech field. I’m making $140k. I have a college degree but no marketing, engineering, or product experience. What other departments/jobs could I jump to and still keep close to my OTE? I’m pretty good at Salesforce and have thought about a SFDC admin type role, but that’s all I’ve thought of so far.

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.
