Hi I just applied for Senior Brand Strategist at Accenture Song. Really intrigued by what they are doing there and looking to level up from the small agency I am at now. Any insight from the bowl (salary, culture, seniority fit, etc)?? I am currently a Supervisor with 6 YOE in brand storytelling strategy in agency settings. Just did a LinkedIn application so any introductions would be great. Thanks!

How is Marsh & McLennan regarded in the MEA?

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

Purely mercenary question here: If I'm currently a 7yr working EPLI at an ID firm, and want to break $300k in the next few years, is there a route to get there?

Partnership at my firm won't come close. My transferrable book is probably less than $100k a year. BL is probably not interested in me given my law school tier and current firm. Am I dreaming?
