Bain & Company Currently an Analyst at Accenture Strategy with 1 year of experience. If you were in my position and had the offers would you switch to OW, EYP or S& but resetting your tenure in the process? Overall goal is to get into MBB this recruiting cycle but also applying to Tier 2 firms alongside.

Wouldn’t waste my time at a tier 2 company. Directly apply for a top tier #MBBO company like Oliver Wyman. ;-)

likefunny

you mean #BOMB haha

I think consistency (and a promotion!) looks better on a resume that firm hopping. I’d suggest if you don’t get a MBB offer this cycle, stick it out, get a promotion in and then try again.

Agree with this

I don’t think we recruit from Accenture

Were you in management consulting or strategy?

Ex ACN Strat here. I don't think the tenure overall matters as you'd still be gaining YOE even if you switch to other firms. These would be my considerations:
1. Time to promotion in ACN (consuultant role looks better and you may/may not be down leveled to MBB)
2. Compensation - other firms (even T2) pay better than acn strat. Even if you don't get into MBB, the comp progression is much faster at T2

like

Yes - switch

Yes make the switch. We're not up there in strategy

A1 very good point

If you have more than one more year of consulting in you then yes

If you want to get promoted and leave no

I worked at ACN Strategy. The caliber / expectation are way higher here and you will do real strategy work. You can always go back to ACN later.

Expect to take a step back even after a promotion at Accenture if you go to MBB (did the same)

This applies to all levels, I was a senior associate (I think that’s not a role typically in NA)

like

Thanks so much everyone! Alot of food for thought- leaning towards sticking it out at Accenture Strategy if MBB doesn't work out this round and reapplying after a hopeful promotion next year

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
