Currently an Associate Manager (which is the level below Manager in ACN Tech) and applied for a Manager role at big4. I have 7.5 YOE. I’ve completed all interview stages already. The salary I’m demanding is too high so they are considering offering SM after I come back for another interview. Bad move or good opportunity?

Regardless of YOE—You’re missing the whole part where you learn to be an M, let alone an SM. Can you lead multiple accounts, carve new business, run proposals and win approval of a ton of partners?

Which B4 would hire an associate manager as an SM? I’d be shocked to see it.

7.5 YOE would not get you anywhere near SM at Deloitte. I’d really make sure you think you’re capable of this

Thanks SM1. Very helpful

Move out if you are getting a good package but to be an SM know that you got to be already performing as an SM. May look good on papers but you would be the one to work.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
