Got an offer from the Siegfried Group with 30% increase in Salary + guaranteed bonus paid out monthly. While everyone I talked to who works there seems genuinely happy & really cared about me, it seems like they somehow get so much hate online. My friends also kept saying it’s a no name company (is it??) and telling me to jump to a reputable tech/financial service company for an FP&A role instead. I’m 3YOE and think I’ll probably take a pay cut jumping to FP&A. Should I accept or decline?

Also about your salary point. I got 40% increase for an fpa role. I was a staff 2. Just keep looking. My first offer was also from Siegfried. It’s a creepy cultish company

Hi everyone,

I just graduated from my bachelors and I have received an offer for 3k per month (incl bonus) from Accenture in tech consulting (level 11), which was my top choice. However, I am not very satisfied with the pay so I wanted to ask:
