Experienced hire/Senior Analyst leaving Accenture after a year. Moving to a position with a client for 2x salary and 20% more bonus. No MBA, no PMP just your typical veteran who is seasoned in GSD.
Just wanted to share for the veteran dudes and dudettes. There are others out there who recognize what you are capable of. Don’t settle for what the LinkedIn talking heads tell you or recruiters who only recruited when they were in service.

No real secret. Got lucky on a project and the client leadership needed to get things done quickly. I stepped in and did it, as we all know how to do.
Turns out there was a junior position available (20% better salary than SA/C) on their team. I applied on my own, networked, interviewed and then got an offer to interview for a more senior position. Repeated steps before and now I start June 1. Took about 30 days from application to start date. Pretty crazy. It was obviously God’s will in my life and I just let Him do it.

Agree completely with your approach. I’ve always thought the veteran community relies too heavily on credentialing (Unranked MBAs, random master’s, PMP, lean sigma, etc etc).

I’ve gotten to the same place+pay as my peers with all the above. Although I wouldn’t discourage anyone to better themselves professionally through credentialing, it shouldn’t be at the expense of putting time/effort in what gets you the biggest returns and likelihood for success: In my personal experience, I’ve found its all about your network contacts (good quality ones! Not a bunch of people in the same boat as you), industry experience, letting your work speak for itself, being able to identify+seize opportunities when they come, and the good ol’ who-you-know 😉

Damn 2x salary could be the largest pay increase I’ve ever heard of. Congrats! What level were you at wishin Accenture? What type of company is it? Are you VP of North America ?

It’s really not that huge of an increase when you are coming from SA pay after leaving O3E pay. And no, not VP of North America, but one of a few VPs in a line of business for a financial institution.
