"Accenture pays less" is a myth. I've worked for Deloitte and PwC. At Accenture, you have better 401k match, employee stock purchase at 15% discount, and better health benefits. Look at Total Rewards.

For reference, total benefit of ESPP is $1,125/year if you max it. While nice, it hardly moves the needle. Total benefits is on par or slightly lags with everyone else if you consider long term pension benefits most others offer (generally ~2-3% of salary/year plus compounding).

Thanks Julie for writing this post. How’s CR?

I was doing some math yesterday. Based on what I know of Deloitte and PwC, Accenture compensates on average 10-12% more if you consider total rewards. Accenture stock is completely solid too and growing at 10-15% YoY. So far very happy.

Not entirely true. Deloitte S&O (or whatever it is now) pays more than Accenture Strategy.

You’re missing the point SM1. OP is saying that the total compensation at Accenture is better than at others, outside of just salary and bonus

Glad things are going well at ACN OP.

Have there been issues funding the bonus pool? I’ve heard some discontent on that front.

If I hear such steady returns to shareholders but underfunding of the bonus pool I worry about a wealth transfer from junior resources to P/MD’s.

Agreed That Accenture pays more. Everything I’ve seen on Fishbowl indicates that.

At the 7+ years of experience level, Deloitte and PWC pays more, though.

In the grand scheme of things I don’t think salary comparisons are substantial until you get to MBB. Maybe it’s just me but I’m not going to sweat a 5-10% difference in pay

Congrats OP

Again, are you considering total rewards? You can't just go off straight base salary. ESPP at 15% alone makes up any difference, if any.

Even in the base category, I learnt that Accenture gives new hires $77.5 starting salary. Deloitte is $75 and PwC is still $65-70 from what I hear. Not really sure about KPMG or EY.

ACN is 86k in NYC

PwC1 > Accenture is $80 in NYC/SF, $77.5 in Chicago/LA, and $75 in other markets.

Cool

@Op P1 is 75

It depends heavily on tenure, route to the firm, level, skillset, and performance. Just the same as every other firm. I’m sure the MBBros have the same 5-10% differential accounting for these same factors

Rewards??

didn't know Pierre was on this fishy app as well.....*waving at pierre*....bonjour! how about that crappy bonus we got from last year ;)

is anyone familiar with pay differentials, negotiating for a temporary raise or some other form of compensation for extra work? 3 coworkers on my team have recently resigned, and certain shifts are being expected to work at half staff until new hires can be brought on. if my workload is being doubled, i expect to be compensated, as they are paying one employee to do the work of two. any suggestions or wording on how to address this?
