Anyone at Accenture who knows what the process is like to move from Strategy to MC? Easy or hard? Time it takes?

OP can I ask why you would want to change? Isn't the pay less and work at least from my view in strategy less interesting?

I'm in strategy and will be taking to my CC about transferring during the mid year review. Can't stand it over here anymore. The constant struggle to get staffed, with a lot of the work being MC branded as Strategy is really annoying.

I've heard it's pretty easy actually, especially if you have support from a partner in MC

Thanks ACN1- do you know if it requires being staffed on an MC engagement at the time of request?

^i too am wondering that, usually it's the other way around. I don't think they'd lower his salary tho

@OP - Nope, should just be able to put in the request. MC projects are just more operational strat projects so the skillets transfer pretty easily.

@ALL - I've had multiple friends switch over without a cut in pay. At the least, it's all negotiable

ACN2, mostly for pace of work, lengthier project roles, personal life etc.

@ACN1, that's awesome to hear.

OP, I wish there was a way where we can trade spots. I've been trying to transfer to strategy for like a year now

ACN4- good luck! I think I'll be waiting another year :/

^Amen.

Wanted to know how different is management consulting in the US via-a-vis India?

Background : working as front end consultant in India.
