You sound bitter, just enjoy the W
Thanks, that is right.
If there was no such a trigger, I would continue my miserable life at the company.
Now I feel very motivated and I am happy to be able to make a transition to the industry with such a bump in compensation.
I hope anyone in a similar situation can experience the same transition and feel more secure both financially and mentally.
A friend of mine got laid off at an airline and is now at FAANG.
How did you frame your unemployment when you interviewed? Getting laid off is one of my biggest fears....
Market is already aware of the lay-offs. 30-40 million people were unemployed at some point.
I saw that big companies like FAANG doesn’t care about whether or not you are employed at the time of application but more interested in the value, experience you can bring in.
I interviewed with almost all big tech companies and none of the interviewers asked why I left my company. They wanted to understand the experience I gained during my tenure.
But frankly speaking there were some small scale companies which were not mature in hiring process and their interviewers more interested in your personal story rather than professional one.
You wouldn't have even gotten the interview at FAANG if it wasn't for your past experience, so I'd say Accenture is a reputable brand. Also, please continue to work on your writing skills, your grammar is all over the place.
Beware, I may consider you as a generalist due to your consulting background. 😂
Congrats & thanks for sharing!
Congratulations 🎉👏👏
🙌🙌🙌
Congrats OP
Congrats, but be more considerate of the fact that job loss may be worse for others than it was for you for a variety of reasons, and most laid off people don't wind up with a 70% comp bump in FAANG.
Thanks D2, I wish you the best with the new year.

Interested and curious. What’s your new title and total comp?

So you were doing well until you threw that flex in there.
Its hard to hear you got laid off from Accenture. However, I am glad that you bounced back stronger
Accenture had 5-10% workforce reduction over 3-4 months without naming those as lay-offs. They claimed everyone who got separated had performance issue. It was just their strategy to seem nice to the market. 🙂
Congratulations on your next step in your career. I know and understand why you are bitter. I'm happy you found a great next step.
I do hope at some point you find that you learned something while at Accenture.
If you ever get frustrated in the new job, use this experience to know that you can move forward to even something better at that point. ACN is my 8th company. I left some with a bitter taste, but later found I did learn and grow even in those.
Thanks MD1.
For sure, Accenture taught me a lot to navigate the ambiguity both internally and externally as well as to play politics. These are all transferable skills which I can leverage in the future. 👍🏻
Op what kind of role did you land?
