For the past 2 years I’ve been scrambling for digital projects at Accenture and even took management and data projects (neither I was qualified to do, but the teams needed help) to avoid too much time on the bench and getting fired- I’ve been working for almost 4 yrs but I only just got a 20% raise to $85k. When I see people here talk about making way way more for less experience, I wonder if I’m being underpaid. And how would I start a negotiation for a raise or look for other opportunities??

A 20% raise is extremely good. You’re probably in a bad spot because of your starting wage. Jump ship.

What group are you in?

NA Marketing operations

If you are Consultant or above, you're ABSOLUTELY being underpaid. If SA, potentially.

Go find other opps.

20% raise is pretty good, at Big 4, take off the zero and thats the raise you can expect every year 😂

Tata isn’t b4, sure we aren’t MBB but don’t dilute us like that lol 😂😂
