Currently in CDP, considering switching to TDP. So far my projects have been similar to PMO roles so I haven’t done much actual consulting roles. However, I don’t know how I feel about working in powerpoint, presenting, and making workshops in the future. CDP has a faster career progression, but I heard that it is harder to get on projects and that S&C in general is struggling. If I stayed in CDP, would I be at a higher risk of getting laid off compared to if I switched into TDP?

As someone who was in CDP and is in S&C now, if you’re not comfortable presenting and leading workshops/meetings, any role above analyst will be challenging for you. Client interactions (which are often done in tools where large amounts of info are easier to digest such as PPT) are conducted by all practices at the firm. It might be important to reevaluate what kind of work you want to do and if that aligns with a long-term career at Accenture. There are definitely areas where you can focus more on other tools but much of the growth you’ll find will come from doing things outside of your comfort zone. Talk with your PL, your office CDP executive sponsor and maybe even some TDP consultants to determine what the right move for you might be. Use your first years at the firm to try different projects and absorb as much as possible.
