Jumped PwC to Accenture and back.

My two cents. It is a corporation. Some things are very different. “A” players in both places are equally good but are fewer in A.

Partner != MD. MDs are fireable employees so they behave in CYA mode. MDs are treated as some form of celebreties. Teams prepare for a few days if an MD comes on site.

They are very happy with unhappy clients and tend to take more risk than a Big 4. Scoping is very flexible, they will take on work which they know they can’t deliver but will try anyway. Teams are stuffed with one A player and many entry level folks.

You have to keep expenses for everything which was the tipping point for me. 😂

You will be walking downhill from a Big 4. Cognizant and InfoSys people were impressed as new joiners. Hope that helps.

Yes sorry, receipts for everything. And you get audited.

Didn’t come from EY, but I’ve been pretty happy at ACN. Work life balance has been very good. I’ve had no issues talking with upper management - sounds like PWC 1 had a different experience. I had one issue where I was forced to take PTO when a project wasn’t budgeted well enough, which pissed me off. I ended up finding training to do for one of the two weeks I was told I had to take off.

I heard about the forced PTO from other people as well.

Hi Everyone!

A company has made an offer and I wanted to understand if i'm being made a fool.

The monthly compensation is 1,37,500 (16,50,000 yearly) and Variable component (Bonus) is 1,50,000.

However in the offer it says "You shall be paid an annual compensation of Rs. 16,50,000/- per annum Cost to Company."

Which to me sounds like it doesn't consider 1,50,000 to be a part of CTC which is suspicious to me.

How should I deal with this?

Thank you!
