Accepted an offer from BCG today after nearly 5 years with Accenture. Only just now received my first raise from Accenture this year for a whopping 5% and 4% bonus.

I've had a good run with them, but definitely saw my career being stifled by staying with the company. Peace out!!

I know dozens of high performing TDP folks who have been fucked over for years with bonuses. Leave and grow at an organization that values you. If you got into BCG obviously you know what you're doing. Principal 1 jealous af.

Guessing P1 is t Accenture. Principal track at Accenture was for mediocre performers who get pushed off Partner track and into deeper SMA knowledge. They just stay stay SM/low leadership forever. (Or...sometimes they just decide not to travel and have real lives.)

I'm in CD&O, which historically has shitty pay and bonuses. I came in at the top of the pay band and never got a raise for that reason. I've never been labeled a poor performer, and have received average-to-high bonuses for our group each year. It would take another 4-5 years and two promotions at Accenture to match what I'll be making now, plus better experience across more work streams. The answer was clear.

It's in their Boston office, so I'm having to relocate. I had an initial phone screening interview with the recruiter, then another phone interview with my would-be senior manager. Those both went well, so they flew me up to Boston for five on-site interviews. Those were a mix of skills and behavioral interviews. Finally, a few days later I had two final phone interviews and received an offer a few days later. All in all it probably took 2-3 weeks from first contact to offer, which is pretty quick I feel. I did wait about a week or two from applying online to the initial screening interview though.

P1 if we was a mediocre performer at Accenture i doubt he would pass the interview process and case studies to receive an offer at BCG (highly unlikely imo and yes i worked at Accenture)
