Client is trying to poach, and if offer is right I’m going to take it. How to tell lead, MDs? How to transition without burning bridges?

If your lead finds out they are trying to poach pre offer they will shut it down. Do not divulge until offer is in hand.

I. Really disagree with these comments. I can almost assure you there is an anti-poaching clause that has to be addressed legally before an offer is made. You’ll find that any decent leader knows this is very good for them to have allies embedded in the client, and they will almost always waive the anti-poaching clause in the MSA. Transparency is your friend. Talk to the client about how before an offer is made you would like to make sure you’re clear if any anti-poaching clauses and discuss with your leadership for approval

Make sure the offer is secure. Set up times with your lead, CC, practice lead if you have a relationship with them. Be complimentary / polite, let them know your timeline and commitment to make the handover work smoothly. Be prepared for the question, “what would need to be true for you to stay?"

Agreed on EY1, this is good for the consulting firm, get your ducks in order and then talk to your account and practice leads

Fed clients poach all the time

Make sure that there isnt a non poach clause in the MSA between acn and the client.

Then tell acn you love them and are now their buyer and that you are sure you two can work together well in the future

Wanted to get some opinions here. I’m an M2 in Cyber looking to eventually make a move to big tech or an SM or Dir at a big industry client. Have an offer of 190K base with 20% bonus to be a Mgr at Accenture. Reason to leave - want more technical exp before moving to Big tech and better comp. although PwC increased salary this year, it’s not in the same ball park at this point. Don’t see myself staying to make partner/MD at either firm. Welcome all suggestions on what I should do.

Clients with toxic cultures: how have you dealt with them? We have a compliance client with a serious culture issue- they regularly throw each other and our team under the proverbial bus, throwing escalations around etc. I am one of the junior partners and suggested having an open dialogue with our C-suite contact to discuss constructive ways of working, at the very least… but the senior partner has vetoed it. Our team morale is pretty bad and we’ve had a couple of people leave because of it.

Would you feel comfortable telling HR that your service line’s culture sucks and name the individuals who cause it? Or is a better approach saying it’s the leadership in general creating a negative and toxic culture? How effective are these conversations really? Trying to assess if there’s any point in bringing this up. Obviously HR works for the company and an employee sharing their thoughts on the unsupportive, cold leaders could bite me in the long run.
