Don't do Accenture federal. It's frustrating and you are stuck on federal projects. You are basically working with federal gov - picture that

Or leave em both for Deloitte federal. Pays a ton more than Booz. I left BAH a month ago, ain't comin back.

I cannot tell you strongly enough to stay away from AFS. It is a black hole you get sucked into and they make it extremely difficult to leave. There is a significant cultural and institutional divide between Accenture and AFS, and making the jump is not easy and discouraged by most people I interacted with. It was a true act of God that I was able to transfer out and I actively help my fellow AFS comrades network their way out as well.

Even more reason to do commercial

like

FYSA: my undergrad offers were BAH=$65k + 5k signing, AFS= $75k + 10k signing, Deloitte Federal= $72.5k + 10k signing.... So not sure how much federal is low balling. However, I have noticed that AFS is a separate entity (with different email domains) from Accenture commercial. So if you're interested in commercial, understand that

like

I got 71k +10K signing from Deloitte recently. With 1.5 yrs of exp.

like

I think there is some FSI in Chicago. And possibly LA. But I also know some federal projects in San Diego so that might not be the worst choice

like

Go to commercial, ACN federal low balls like every other federal practice in the DC area.

Solid numbers from D and AFS. Good to know about the separate entities, much appreciated. I have 2 years MC exp (BAH) and 2 years of finance on the wealth management side (UBS/MS)...what are some possible ranges for my exp?

Are you set on federal? That experience would make you a solid candidate for financial consulting. If so, I recommend Deloitte over AFS since from my understanding, there is more negotiation flexibility and higher raises

@D2 - not set on fed. Really open to commercial but the commercial FS is non-existent in my area (San Diego)...is t possible to live in SD and still work for Deloitte doing FS?

I think there is a MC side to AFS. Stick with that one then. They used to have that when I was there.

I left AFS for booz after 3 years if that says anything. 2 months in, im liking booz a lot better

I didn't ask to increase the amount or JB and I strongly believe I informed early so they can look for other candidates. Is this bluff? Any HR here to clarify

Hi All,
How's the job security at Accenture as such? I know that last year, they sacked people ruthlessly and now are facing a resource crunch. Also that they mandatorily place poor performers in PIP.

But how is it in general? Should I perform as per expectation, can I be relaxed about the job security aspect or do you always need to be on your toes?
