Are you gonna make your decision based off the votes of a bunch of 25 year olds who complain about cost of living, being underpaid, having to work 55 hours a week, and think they all are God’s gift to consulting while their Managers and Partners all wear dunce caps?

funnysmart

I voted “no” already. But my take is what I said above - don’t make your decision Based off this

Why no though? Is it that bad?

I vote for entertaining. Some good consulting leadership at Cog in FS. Worth deciding for yourself

FYI...lot of churn (more than the usual) at senior and practice lead levels these day

I think this is a good thing. Get rid of dead weight and hire more big 4 caliber talent

Should I still try to negotiate salary after accepting a offer? It is from Accenture for a security analyst position. Since I’m basically a new grad I assumed negotiating salary wouldn’t be worth it. Until I talked to someone on the security team there and he told me I should at least be a senior analyst since I am coming in with a Masters. Should I try to negotiate to a senior role and the salary or leave it? It’s my only cybersecurity offer. Also looking for FAANG,big4or MBB referrals :)

Fellow fishes, an observation. What explains the sudden rise in salaries in new hires.
In 2017/8, $/₹ was 65. Today it's at 80. That's a 20% depreciation over 2017/8 levels. Now, between then and now, salaries may have been corrected 50%. Factor in inflation, and you will see that the hike is just about 20% over a 4 time period. Doesn't seem like big number anymore.
