Deloitte S&A or Acn Strategy? Just curious to know what’s a better place to shoot for. Big factors:
- exit opps
- Strategy/strategic work and teammates
- mba sponsorship
- culture & wlb

I think ACN strat is a tad above Deloitte in general for pure strategy work? I always grouped them in with tier 2’s, isn’t their comp higher too?

That’s how I thought about it too, atleast compared to S&O because I know that was just Management Consulting. Wondering if this re org better align actual strategy people and work

Exit opps are similar to Deloitte - it’ll depend on the type of work you did. There’s no added element of prestige of one firm over another.

Strategy work - depends on what you define as strategy. At Accenture Strategy the work is “strategic” in that you create a plan. But that plan is not usually the sexy 5 year growth plan. TBH, there’s not a lot of this work being done at any firm - even MBB (although they get the lions share of whatever true strategy work is out there). Accenture Strategy focuses more on some type of transformation - cost, org, tech, etc.

MBA sponsorship - AS sponsors up to a $100k which obviously doesn’t cover the entire cost. It’s paid upon rejoining the firm. It’s not competitive. You just need to get into a top school and notify your practice lead.

Culture and WLB - I’ve had great WLB at AS, but it varies wildly from project to project. I imagine it’s similar at Deloitte.

Comp - you didn’t ask about this but you should. Base pay is comparable but total comp is likely lower since our bonuses are terrible (usually <10% even for top performers). Both firms pay much less than the tier 2 firms (OW/ATK/LEK/S&) and MBB.

Depends on what’s your end goal. The market just doesn’t view ACN as a Strategy firm. We do the work but don’t get the same exit ops

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

Does anyone at Atlassian (or who knows someone at Atlassian) have news on the hiring slowdown? Any updates on which business units / orgs / positions the company will continue hiring for? Or if it is actually going to be a hiring *freeze*? I did a final round interview with Atlassian that went well and I'm hoping to hear back soon...

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?
