Accenture 🐠. How common is an Associate Director position? Is it part of normal career progression or a role that you bring external hires into only?

So it's in Tech entity, Client Delivery & Ops career track which is typically for large implementation/delivery experts. We're a matrix org so you can be in 1 of 4 career tracks (CD&O, Client & Market, Thought Leadership & Innovation, and Project & Program Management) across one of our 5 business entities (Strategy, MC, TC, Digital, and Ops) and then there's industry groups (called operating groups) with which we report our external performance results to wall street

Definitely more common in Corporate Functions than other workforces but hard to tell if it is meant to be a progression point or landing spot. I know many CL5 CF people and 2 were CL5 for 1-2 years before getting promoted to MD. On the other hand I know only 1 C&M person who was a CL5 (now a CL4).

Thanks SM1. I was wondering specifically on consulting side. A recruiter reached out for an Associate Director position but this is the first time i am hearing of this CL at Accenture.

They have it in Client Delivery & Ops and Accenture Ops so I'd think that's where they're putting you

The position would be in one of the Technology consulting groups.

What certifications are good for technical project manager? I was thinking to start with PSM and PSPO and then move to ITIL, ITSM. Not sure about this though. Not planning to do PMP as I think it’s more waterfall focused. Was also thinking about AWS. Any other certifications recommended?

Hi Guyz,

I went through the entire recruitment process and got selected for IBM ISL. Now I am being told by the HR that they are unable to release offer as there is a hiring freeze.

Can any one please tell me if its correct or just an excuse not to give me offer. If its true, when will this freeze be removed?

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year.

I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.

The Current scenario of high attrition rates and job shift by taking multiple offers has been caused by a resource crunch in the market. However I have a feeling that this particular scenario of shifting jobs by way of multiple offers and getting high salary is creating a bubble in the market which will burst causing a ripple effect of lay offs due to cost saving efforts by organisations in the near future. In a scenario like this how can one change the job by avoiding the bubble?
