Going 4 years without a salary increase or any rank/level/title increase normal? I'm an Implementation Consultant and I've always met my goals and received my yearly bonuses but never got a promotion.

I'd start applying to other places. Get an offer and have Accenture work to counter it. Then bail anyway because Fuck Them.

4 years without a salary increase?!

OP- I'm a little concerned you don't know what DTE is since you've been here 4 years... upon first reading this, I'm thinking assimilation may be part of what is holding you back.

I'll echo the sentiment of ask your cc exactly what you need to do to be promoted. Heck- put it as one of your Priorities in the PA Tool!

Make sure to connect with Accenture leadership outside of the company you were acquired with, you may not have the right people in the room speaking up for you at promotion time.

One other thing that may be harder to consider, is there a reason you haven't been promoted for 4 years? It sounds like someone in a position of power wants you to quit:/ I don't think I've ever heard of someone going that long at lower levels with out a promotion, and when I have it was to get them to leave on their own since no one likes to fire people.

like

No, but are you at the top of your band? At some point it's either promotion or 0% raise if your salary is high for your level. Promotion depends on a few factors. You could ask your CC what does it take for me to get to the next level? What do I need to do differently? He/she will have most direct insight to how you are perceived in talent meetings.

I believe I am at the top level. I'm level 10 making entry level 6 figures. My department \ team was acquired by Accenture proper so our salaries are higher than traditional consultants because we are running as an Accenture owned company but operating as a "typical" software company if that makes sense. Do you think I'd have more opportunities if I transferred to a traditional "consultant" role within Accenture? Thanks in advance!

like

If you are a 10 making 6 figures you are at the top of your band. You need to get to 9. If you like your role, ask your manager what it takes to get to 9. If you want to try traditional consulting then make that move as in traditional consulting it would be very unusual for someone to stay at 10 for 4 years. Your promotion is determined by your DTE.

You should start looking at new jobs if you went one year without a salary increase. The fact that you stayed 4 years at the same salary is dumbfounding to me

Promotions are not about performance each year in current role. They are about ability to perform at the next level or beyond. People who do a good job should be compensated - raise or bonus. Those that can perform at next level should be promoted...

Thanks for the advice! I guess I need to create a FB profile. I've been off social media for a while now. Only thing I use is LinkedIn, I noticed none of my so called connections really offer any help other than suggesting to "just apply". And yes I am Desi 😎.

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!
