Don’t do it
SM is a very hard role to come into as a new hire. Not saying that to discourage you, but just so you aren’t blindsided
It’s the hardest role in Accenture and without an internal network, nearly impossible to last in Strategy S&C.
Worse, I’ve noticed lately that the SM’s they’ve hired they don’t actually have a project for. One recent experienced hire SM I networked with told me he was hired 6 months ago and still has no project. Sad.
You basically have to suck up to the MD and I've seen many SMs fast track their career
Utilisation is always a stress
We do a horrible job integrating experienced hires. May be hard for you to get staffed especially as an SM. You'd be expected to lead a project and most SM roles are staffed off work that the SM sold. I know an experienced hire SM currently on the bench since he was hired in September....
First year is safe.
Depends on client.
Most of our SMs work 60-70 hours
I left this role and two years later pulled down +$700k, certainly more than most MDs. Accenture is for subpar people and shitty pay.
What is work life balance?
