Currently a career level 9 Management Consultant at Accenture. December makes one year for me at the company. I love my team, the company, and the WLB, but would love to make more money. ✨Which firms do you guys recommend I consider?✨ Money, WLB, diversity, and opportunity are super important to me. Thanks!

Apply to several firms and see what offers you get. Skipping around is, unfortunately, the only way you are likely to get a material raise. DM me for a referral to KPMG.

What practice area are you in? What's your background? (if you're a level 9, and have been there for 11 months, you must have previous work experience or a good MBA.) What career goals, if any, do you have beyond making more money?

And have you looked into earning a promo? Level 9 to 7 takes 2 years and you're halfway there if you're a decent performer, and there's a pay increase.

Are you currently with Accenture? You mentioned going from 9 to 7. I hear that not every practice has a CL8z Mine does (🥲) so seems like it’ll take me 3 years min to get to CL7.

CL9 - Consultant (me! Dec 2021-Present)
CL8 - Associate Manager
CL7 - Manager
CL6 - Sr. Manager
CL5 - Associate Director

Hey, I graduated UChicago and took a finance analyst position. However, I am looking to switch into management consulting because of a couple factors I have realized matter more to me than I realized: 1. Team and Collaborative problem-solving, 2. Diversity of companies and industries I am exposed to because of entrepreneurial hopes in the future.

Would appreciate any likes I could dm or any comments with firms I should look into that could be a good fit and hire off-cycle or for January 2023!

I had an interview and the recruiter (White F) could not stop talking about DEI and POC % hires. It’s great yes but I didn’t even mention or ask about it yet. Barely had time to talk about myself. I was slightly uncomfortable. She made me feel like a diversity hire.

Hey Gente, Im applying for jobs and I wanted to get others opinion on the race part of the application process. As an indigenous LatinX I worry that if I put indigenous it won’t tick the “diversity” box for the algorithm or recruiters.

I’ve spent my career on the internal/exec comms side of the house and am looking for a director role.

The roles do come with a broader comms team, so if I were to get one then it’s not like I would be on my own. Am I being insecure about not being experienced enough in media relations or is it ok?
