DD1 - Yes, we call it “growth” but it’s more like “burnout inducer”

Agreed with @A1 - certainly a stretch role for an Analyst. I’d personally want to make sure you were well versed in Agile before putting you into such a role though.

Surprising to hear of an Analyst taking a Scrum Master role. What experience do you have?

Accenture is always staffing people in ridiculous stretch roles

If you want a challenge go for it. If you do well it will set you up pretty damn well for promotion, as being a scrum master is a leadership postion. If you want to ease your way in a bit to ACN I would look at other roles for now. Depends on what you want to do.

My interests are in MC and the manager said i would be working by myself, which seems like it could be overwhelming, so I’m a bit hesitant

^ yeah I'd be careful that they're not selling the role as something it's not...

Based on what she described it seemed pretty accurate, this is the description

Op - If you are proficient in Agile and Jira operations well enough to explain both to a client, it’d be worth applying

Finally a post where people do not bash on PMO!

My main concern is, my interest lie within Management Consulting and I feel like this role may risk that, and may put me in a Technology consulting track

Anyone have any friends who successfully pivoted out of advertising? I know a handful of people who are half-trying to, but I can’t think of anyone who has made a clean break, on their own terms, into something that appears to be making them feel more fulfilled than they were in the ad biz. So they continue freelancing in order to make a living, while not gaining much traction elsewhere.
