Accenture is offering me 120k for a tech consultant role. I have 2.5 years experience out of undergrad. Is that a competitive offer or can I ask for more?

Great offer for sure. Depends on what your doing too. If it’s a software dev role, pending on your abilities it wouldn’t be extremely over paid.

Confirming you should def take the offer. You obviously did really well on the interview and left a great impression. Take it as a boost to your self-confidence

Lol @ ask for more. Are people really this out of touch on market salary? 120k is well over the average for a consultant 2.5 years out of college. That's more than most SCs

OP def take the job. At your level regardless of years of exp you should be at 120. So no out of range.

like

So Op has comp sci undergrad and masters...? Your peers should be making 300k+ at FAANG with 2.5 YOE. 120K for CS UG/MS is really low.

Point is , he’s underpaid given his CS degrees...

like

You can get paid much more in tech as others have alluded. Kinda a waste of your CS degrees imho

120 for what level & what city? 25 years experience depending on the level and city should be way higher than that.

Never mind I read your 2.5 years of experience as 25. The offer is in line depending on level, practice and city.

I received an offer at Accenture for the consulting development program. How much should I be asking for? Is the opp worth it?

Ask for at least 20% bump from what you already make

If you aren’t coming from another consulting firm this might be a very challenging role for you.
