Anyone been recruited for MD at Accenture but as the process goes along it became SM? I can’t tell if this is a bait and switch, how they bring people in at SM by appealing to ego and promising quick promotion, or if my business case wasn’t solid enough as I went through the process.

Not me but several recently hired co-workers, yes.

IMO, not a bad choice on substance (this place is notorious for its poor experienced hire onbording, and it gets worse the more senior people are), but in my personal opinion, some more transparency might help.

I am guessing it’s the latter. We have a lot of people who are recruited for or referred to MD roles but as the interview process goes on it’s determined that the person doesn’t meet MD criteria but is rather a SM or AD.

Right. Most likely it is discovered throughout the interview cycle the candidate does not posses the sales or portfolio skillset and background necessary to meet their revenue target. The candidate might have great functional and operational leadership skills in consulting so they offer them a role in that domain if it is available.

Also, if you have yet to make partner at your current firm - with your existing network, what would make you successful at a new firm as a partner with no immediate network?

Likely the latter.
