Am I stupid to want to leave accenture just months away from a potential manager promotion and pay bump? Is it worth sticking around for the promotion and then seeing what else is out there?

Dumb to leave if no amazing offer in hand, definitely worth sticking out

Without knowing your specifics, would hard to advocate leaving before having promo in hand. You’ve worked hard to get there, 3 months is nothing

Also, if you ever wanted to go back to Accenture, they’d see you left as Manager, not SC, and you wouldn’t have to fight that title

@A2 that’s an amazing offer! What company and what role? Wow

What other offer do you have in hand? If you got an attractive offer from MBB or FAANG and you're wondering if staying at accenture is better, take the offer. If you got a lateral offer from big 4, don't take the offer. If you are just starting, then no worries, as by the time you get an offer (it can take months), you could have the promo anyway.

Quick tip. You need 2, maybe at least 1, years as manager to be taken seriously for management roles elsewhere. If you just got promoted, other firms may want you to start a level lower to learn how they do things then move over.

Saw a new message from OP. The opportunity you're interviewing for isn't financially attractive enough to merit leaving if a promotion will pay you more than they're offering. If you can't justify moving because the work, wlb, industry or something else is better, stay where you are and recruit again in a few months.

Depends on what your other offer looks like. Got any details?

What do you make now?

Yes, for asking this to anon strangers. Please leave if you feel like. I am sure you’ll have your reasons to consider the move despite the upcoming promotion / pay raise. Go with your conviction.

I would work really hard for the next 4 weeks, then take some pto end of august or sep. you should stick it out. Much better to recruit as a M for better exits, if you want to leave.

OP just to echo what M1 said, are you happy at accenture and willing to stay longer after M role? I’ve also heard going elsewhere as a newly promoted M doesn’t mean you’ll automatically be an M there at the time. Sometimes the company wants to see you at M level a year or two after. I’ve also heard exiting at M can be tough.
It’s all based on your personal career goals.

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation. Relocation was approved shortly after (over 2 yrs ago) but covid meant the actual move and start of my contract with new subsidiary was delayed, I was paid by the previous subsidiary meanwhile. I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!

I’m in an interesting dilemma. Very interested in leaving my company, but I am also going through IVF. I know most new jobs require a year wait before you can go on maternity leave. Does anyone know a great company to work for that does not require this?
