Accepted accenture offer for consultant (23% bump and 10k signing) still going through HireRight background check process. Guidehouse offered me promo to SC w raise to similar comp. Should I take the GH offer seriously or am I locked in to accenture? Don’t know how big of deal reneging on the offer is at this stage…

I’m at ACN, but take the job that gets you closer to your longer term goals + makes you happiest. Remember why you decided to entertain another offer and make sure whatever you choose solves it. If you decide to change your mind - let your recrtuiter know ASAP.

As an aside, the stock has been rising exponentially at ACN over the past two years and there’s no sign of it slowing down. I would also look at benefits closely.

ACN is a way better brand name than GH and will have infinitely more opportunities for growth. Assuming you are early in your career, take ACN.

Reneging is not a big deal at all, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. ACN isn’t about to lose sleep over one consultant. You may be burning that bridge (hard to say since I can’t tell you if they track this type of thing) but at the end of the day take the job that you’re most interested in and feel the most fairly compensated for.

ACN recruiters ping me all the time. So far I prefer Guidehouse. There are alum over there though, just reach out.

You are still early in your career - go with your gut. You have a long career and recover from a mistake or two. Having said that, personally I’d take up a job that makes you feel the best about your future.

In general, you want higher salary on a lower title so you’ll have bigger bumps

Another consideration - assuming the ACN offer is a lateral move, you’re getting the pay bump while maintaining similar expectations/responsibilities, where your GH opportunity is taking on increased expectations/responsibilities. Just one other thing to consider in addition to what others have said.

Found out MC pay band is 90 to 170. Me and some other MCs are at low 100s with close to 10 YOE. GH doesn't wanna do any adjustments even though they know we are underpaid. So yea is pretty messed up

I lean toward staying, but ask for a bigger counteroffer. 2 or 3 years from now, it will be easier to jump for (or just get) a promotion to Manager, whereas you may still be a consultant at Accenture trying to get to SC, which means longer time to Manager.

Hi Guys!
I am a Senior SF Admin with 9 years of SF experience. Mostly I look after a team consisting of Admins and do all usual Admin stuff plus BA/Consultant work.

Though I don't mind being in support vertical but I am worried that I might drift away from SFDC Domain and get involved more in the Support process and eventually take my career away from Salesforce.
What do you guys think?
