Had a couple of offers and would really appreciate some advice.

Currently a Strategy Consultant at Accenture UK (1 year in role), and received an offer for a Senior Manager position at EY UK, effectively a double promotion).

Trying to understand how levels compare across firms—specifically how Senior Manager at EY aligns with Accenture’s hierarchy and whether jump is realistic or not

This seems like a crazy jump. Did you take a pay cut or were you hired at a lower level at Accenture?

Having worked at both the sr mgr role at ey is equal to the role at Accenture from a responsibility perspective. I will say this that I think the ey role is worse and harder. When I was at Accenture the quality of the assets such as methodologies, frameworks, tools, and pretty much everything else is on a completely different level than what ey has. When I joined ey I found that the cupboards were bare and the strategy people lacked skills due to being staffed mostly on long term pmo transformation support roles. I had to create most of my own materials and train my teams. If you are really being offered a double jump and don’t have a strong baseline of experience to pull on you may struggle. If you can survive a year or so though and have it in your resume no one can take that back from you. Depends on your long term goals.

What word?

The SM equivalences always cause a row on here 😂
There is overlap but given they have a ‘director’ level between SM and partner I would say that their SM overlaps with new promote SM at Accenture but our people stay at SM for longer before MD. So our tenured SMs might be Directors (given not everyone goes L5).

Either way, very well done! Take the offer for sure.

Accenture levels are an about a half grade below the big 4. So an accenture manager is like a SC2 at a place like Deloitte (my former, I’m now at accenture). EY levels are very different between MC and Parthenon. An SM at Deloitte would typically go to Sr. Dir at P but SM for MC.

How I’m going to argue that the IC abused its discretion or misapplied the law when we made a facially insufficient argument for relief?

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?

-TIA

Hi Fishes,
I got offer from persistent with 31lpa.
But most of the compensation they added into skill bonus-1400000. Due to that my basic salary is low- 50k as compared to my cctc basic salary, which is 63k with 19.5lpa.
Is it normally happening with everyone joining to persistent?
Can Persistent increase basic salary component and reduce the skill bouns?
I asked hr to increase my basic, but she mentioned that it’s system generated and standard format, vary cmpny to cmpny.
Plz help me out guys.

What is a simple way to explain to my boyfriend that investing in equity with an expected return of 10% is better than paying off debt that is growing at a rate of 6%. He has student loans and is adamant that he wants to pay all of them off immediately before saving any retirement money. I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k
