How to get in front of Droga5? Hiring through the Accenture portal feels a bit like I’m waving at a wall. I’m very determined, and after reading a ton of posts here it seems like cold emailing is not the move. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And hey—maybe we’ll get to be coworkers! Thanks in advance.

The best way is a really strong portfolio. They like to see big brands, big famous work and awards. Then you can contact a great recruiter like Sascha, or Anne-Marie or Ashley Jahn. They’ll send in your work if there’s an opening if your work is strong enough. And they’ll make sure someone who can actually hire you looks at it. But it’s all about the portfolio. There are no secret hidden ways in. The best way of course is if you now someone who works there. But this is assuming you don’t.

Amazing—thanks again.

Better question is: why would you want to? They don’t exactly pay you well or treat you well or offer you a good work/life balance. And unlike a decade ago, the chances of even doing good work there now are pretty low.

They paid well in my experience but it didn’t make up for the horrendous work/life balance. It did open up a ton of doors though.
