I am currently considering a role being offered as a Senior Vice President role at Accenture in Los Angeles. My understanding is that stock options/RSU is a typical component of the total compensation, but the recruiting manager says that is not the case anymore. It is just that I can participate in a stock purchase plan at a 15% discount but set stock allocation as part of the part of the package. Any recent hires at Accenture could comment on stock options as part of the salary negotiations?

First, congrats on the offer and the L6/L5 level. No easy task these days.

Second, know that when the integration is complete the title will change to Senior Mgr / Assoc. Dir to align with Accentures structure.

Third, RSUs are possible at both of those levels but not a given. In fact, you really shouldn’t count on it as part of the comp package.

Fourth, I think I read the comp package is $300k plus 10%-15% bonus. That’s in line with an L5 level. Just know that you will not be bonus eligible this year because of the timing of your start date and these days the bonus is on the low end of the range.

Fifth, these levels are the hardest in Accenture even if you have extensive prior Consulting experience. You are expected to be self-sufficient with respect to your project billing which is to say you are expected to generate enough business to at least cover your own chargeability. No easy task. Also, you’ll be coming into ACN with limited network and limited help to develop the network to work on the Business Development proposals to win the work and staff yourself.

Think hard about this move. You will be given a grace period, but in the present environment this could be a short trip.

No such level as SVP. Knowing the exact title on contract would be helpful. But if beneath MD level you basically can buy at 15% discount. And then there are performance related stock awards. No other stock schemes beneath MD to the best of my knowledge.

L6 is Sr mgr. L5 is senior principal/ director

Most of the above is inaccurate. I&CP operates under different comp and incentive structures from LLP, and will continue to do so indefinitely.

RSUs are not available for below MD due to off-system (workday) prior to people go-live (Calendar 2026).

Market facing titles will be subject to change as part of go-live as officer titles like SVP do not fit the nomenclature in broader Accenture. This will likely transition to Principal or Senior Principal based on revenue under management.

That’s not a role at ACN. Is it L4, L3, or L2 MD? Stock is part of MD package + can contribute 1/3 of salary to stock payout annually. What’s the comp/offer?

SVP is an L6, it’s SM equivalent

It exists but it’s rare career track. (Former L3)

Senior VP is likely not client facing so no reason from RSUs

Its L5 role

No such thing as SVP role. As noted either it’s a L6 or 5.

Genuinely curious here: currently and SDR and 25yrs and have been an In this position for a little under a year and I want AE. I know the economy is tough right now but I can’t get promoted internally. my current company is a sales consultation company (basically we do your outbound for you) and I’m making 170 dials a day on top of other hard to hit metrics. I’m studying how to do demos, interviews etc to make myself the best. I know the SDR to AE external jump is tough but any other advice?

Not many people seem to care about those agency of the year titles anymore. Especially in the past 2 to 3 years. Even to the winners. Right?
