Got an offer with Accenture with 160k base with 7k sign on, calculating my Total compensation now, am I doing it right? 1) 160k base; 2) 7k sign on; 3) 10% bonus = 16k; 4) 401k matching first 6% at 100% = 9600; 15% stock discount at $25000 max, assuming no stock increase = 4411; TC = 197011

Looks good - 401k match starts 1 year after working with the company so wouldn’t be included in your first year TC

likehelpful

When I was at ACN you needed 1 year service then whatever date came first July 1 or Jan 1 so you join in May and its about 13 months until match, 2 years to vesting.

Interesting, is this how most people have been calculating their total compensation? I’ve always only done it by base plus bonus

likefunny

Only if you want to get wired and work all day and night, then your TC/hour would go down.

Dude do you actually like the job?

Bonus is not guaranteed, and I can’t remember if the Accenture 401k match has a vesting period. For the stock purchase, you will need to front the money to purchase it. Overall your calculation logic is right.

ESPP is max $15k/year. Check that again.

Bonuses at Accenture are like non existent from what I remember. This calculation made me chuckle, it’s accurate, but it’s the same way microsoft HR tries to tell us our total comp is 🤣 they throw in health too

likefunny

Omg. Our tc tools only lists base, bonus and stoxks

Sorry to be nitty gritty but if we want to calculate TC, I want to do it right. I did not include PTO in TC

People include 401k match in their TC??

Just cut the avo toast.

Next OP be like: on a personal trip, thanks to travels associated with this job aka status, I got a resort upgrade to a room worth $2k/night and we spent 5 nights so my TC is 207111

160+16=176k

Ask for a higher signing bonus. 10k is pretty standard and I've seen as high as 22k for a level 9.

If you're OK with HSAs, ACN will pitch in $500 for you and $500 for a covered spouse. That will help you to move the needle a bit to the 200k goal.

Your TC for FB purposes is ~170k = 160 * (1 + 10% * 80%). Assumes you’ll get paid 80% of your bonuses over time.

Everything else should be a part of your calculus to compare against your BATNA.

Don’t calculate your sign on bonus because that’s a one time gig. They could give you a 5k bonus but not raise your salary and your TC would go down

like

...once you join, the benefits portal has a Total Comp tool

If you are manager and above, the bonus is pretty consistent due to the global comp- but not at the 10% rate (you’ll probably get $12-13k)

Having been at a company that had capped 401k match at $2500...I’d count the 6% match as that is significant when you get into higher numbers (nearly $8k using OPs #s)

like

Nah, to me your TC here is 183K for Year 1 with full bonus attainment, especially if you're trying to compare it with the trend of FAANG offers with RSU calculations baked in the TC. The rest are just optional perks/benefits that can be treated as nice kickers.
