Platinion isn’t the same as classic BCG, right? It’s their IT implementation arm or something? Congrats OP, a great move regardless!

^idk how others feel but I don’t think we segregate like that. Just other branches with different value adds. Still competitive

like

That’s not true. The strategy arm makes almost 50k more per person and the firm pays for their MBAs, which isn’t true of Platinion. They definitely segregate and find tech consulting a lower investment.

It’s not about time or hard work at Accenture, it’s all about connections. A strong relationship with your manager and having the right CC are important. The company has zero transparency of who gets paid what and why. It’s awful.
