Think DA is supposed to be around the top 5% of people, though what I have heard is that the actual # of people that get it varies by practice

I’m going to read between the lines of your question and ask what your chances are of getting promoted to consultant after your second year?

If you’ve been at Accenture two years and you’re a senior analyst, your chances are extremely good. As long as your CC isn’t cautioning you with lots of things to work on, you should be fine.

Distinctive achievement is different than promotion. It’s basically saying you did something extra awesome and you should be awarded additional bonus for it. It will definitely be harder to get that than a promotion to consultant after your second year.

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

I’m pretty good at Salesforce and have thought about a SFDC admin type role, but that’s all I’ve thought of so far.

Boutique I have been eyeing has billable hour requirement of 1500-1600 and comes with a 20-25% paycut. Is this a stupid idea and should I grind it out until I can move in house? Will this ruin my opportunities down the road?

I have an interview for an in house position (only attorney) at a small non-profit focused on conservation easements. I am a transactional associate at a mid sized law firm. The prospect of freedom from the billable hour and contributing to meaningful work are the draws. The cons are that while the salary at the non-profit would only be slightly less than what I am making now, pay increases and opportunities for advancement will be much less than where I am now. Thoughts on making the shift?
