Anyone jumped from a boutique to Accenture (tech)?

I’ve been at KPMG and EY before so it’s not like I don’t know what bigger companies are like but worried I’ve got used to the boutique culture

Consulting runs on the imposter syndrome. You sound like you have enough of it in you to listen to feedback, observe, correct and do well..

Love this!

For all those asking about boutique culture; I would summarise my experience as:

1. More autonomy to make decisions and control what is in your remit (whether you’re a people manager / product manager etc...)
2. More flexibility in working arrangements (less travel / working from home / working time)
3. Little to no structure for things such as career progression unless you take control and the company has the budget to promote etc...

I would say it’s best for those just starting out who want to get a lot of experience in one area pretty quick or for those who are settled and want to slow down (compared to the big guys!!)
