Considering a travel role with Accenture and a non-travel role that has committed to the WFH model post covid. While I want to move forward with ACN, I’m not sure if I’m comfortable with traveling in the next year given the current state. Can anyone provide insight on where they stand on this?

I’m at ACN and I hate to travel - even before COVID, I’ve been able to choose work that is remote/local for a couple years. You might miss out on the some cool projects, but it’s doable.

Most teams are not traveling right now. The company is public and puts high value on safety. You wouldn’t be made to travel until it’s safe. But it is unclear what the post WFH model will look like. Old model v. New hybrid model... I’d make the decision based on fit with future coworkers one way or another

Hmm I’m not too sure how much our consultants are traveling rn. What exactly are you being offered?

Sure

I personally love WFH. If you are purely concerned about safety, I think most companies will be reasonable if you have some even minor medical justification ... my team is planning to travel just 1 week each month.

Non-travel is my ultimate goal, specifically WFH, but I’m not sure the career trajectory will be as good. (If it’s an internal role for example)

Def need the Numbers and projections in this situation

They wouldn’t provide specifics. It was generalized that while ACN is doing its part with covid, it was mentioned that some teams are still traveling and that it will be 100%.

What is it going to take for you to travel again?

What is the wfh role/company?

This is my first consulting role and I feel I am not receiving enough support. Few people are helping to learn the ropes but WFH has exacerbating the problem. How do I get a TL to receive pointed feedback? PwC

Assuming everyone performed anywhere from good to great, would a lot of managers feel it would make them look bad to let all 5 have a good review?

Just jumped from 60K —> 110K after 2 years of being very underpaid although being considered a “top performer”.

If you’re on the fence about jumping to another firm or starting to look elsewhere, realize that loyalty is often only skin deep in consulting. Prioritize your career goals, whether they be financial otherwise. Praise and appreciation are nice, but don’t let ANYONE make you feel bad about choices you make for your happiness.
