I’m currently in the process of being converted from contractor to permanent. In my initial conversations I was under the impression that I was in a different pay grade and asked for a salary 25k higher than the max allotted for my position. I feel like it gave the impression that I don’t know what I’m doing. Any suggestion how I can recover from this?

Hi lady fish,

One...did anyone leave Accenture right after maternal leave? If so, what happened? Did they have to pay back anything?
