I got an offer to jump from Deloitte to Accenture Strategy. For folks who have recently made the jump, how does the work culture compare? Especially work-life balance?

better WLB and chiller culture. it’s still toxic because it’s strategy but definitely an improvement from the pockets of D that I’ve seen.

There’s some weird things going on in strategy right now, wouldn’t surprise me if a year from now there is no real difference in projects or comp

What’s happening in Strategy right now?

Stay. Accenture has a taken a culture beating as well. Deloitte will probably match the pay and you get to keep your network.

What do you mean by culture beating?

I'm currently in Strategy. Work life balance depends on the project and your alignment. While the work isn't always pure strategy in nature, I enjoy my client and colleagues I work with every day.

I made the jump to management consulting at Accenture from D S&A- that side is super chill. Strategy is another beast, but the pay is good according to my friend who made the jump from D S&A to Accenture. She works around 70 hours a week.
