Hey,

Just recently obtained my MBA from a (non prestigious university) Don’t have any prior consulting experience, Got offered a position with Accenture in the CDP program. Base is lower than expected but will my MBA help boost salary in the long run?

Use it as a stepping stone. Get a good name on your resume, learn job skills while there, get professional certifications, grow your network, and see what happens. If your salary does not meet your expectations in a year or two then go somewhere else. I was in a similar situation four years ago and pretty much did that and it has worked out.

Thanks! Definitely excited for the opportunity.

If you don’t mind sharing, what is the base salary being offered for a Senior Analyst in the CDP at Accenture?

like

It should, generally speaking. But it’s on you to sell an employer on why it’s worth more. I assume you used it to pivot your career, which is part of a reason to get an mba; but it doesn’t immediately mean a comp boost.

Thanks, I read in a few bowls that they don’t negotiate first year in the CDP. However, forgot to mention they are bringing me in as a Senior Analyst which is above the first level.
