Anyone in Accenture life sciences practice willing to shed some light on future prospects in terms of growth of the practice & also growth within the company? Want to know if it’s worthwhile making the move from SA at Big4 to Manager at Accenture

I just made the move from b4..happy to answer any questions

Life sciences group is a great team to be a part of. I don’t believe they do a lot of pure strategy though if that’s what your looking for

Wow, surprised that we’re auto-promoting experienced hires. That’s pretty much Accenture for you.

Did the recruiter tell you that you could interview at the Manager level? It’s not very common to change firms and get a promotion. If they agreed to it then good for you

M level at Accenture is definitely a level up from SA at any Big 4.
However, the work in LS in Accenture is heavily tech centric, with strategy work few and far between. The mix is far worse in everything markets.

Dm me for Deloitte!!

I’ve just never had a background check take at or over a week. Advice?
