I have an offer for EY and Accenture; the starting salaries are fairly close. I'm wondering, as far as raises and promotions go, which firm is more generous?

Absolutely stay away from Accenture; there have been no raises or promos for the past three+ years

Can you please define what you mean by “generous” as it’s used relatively and as per convenience by employers. For eg: Cognizant kept saying that they did 4 raises in 3 years but they do not mention that they did these 4 raises in (3+2=5) years. And they gave a meagre 1-1.75% (top performers got 1.75%) raises during those.

Promos are very limited at Accenture, have been for 4 years now. Bonuses are decent. No stay at level raises for 3 years. Also they have moved to mostly offshore with contracts. The onshore team will be a 1 or 2 person show if it's not a government project.

I would check out EY LOL

Accenture will give you 2-4% bonuses for your first 3-4 years and maybe a 1-5% base increase for the next 3-5 years. No experience working at EY but I’d assume being private, your company structure would look more lucrative if you’re in a hot or profitable area.

Depends on a team / practice.

Between the 2, I would personally pick EY. ACN is currently a completely different animal than what it was pre-pandemic. It’s a crazy house internally there.

Despite all of the negativity everywhere, EY has actually been good for me.

Both a large firms so it really depends on the service line / practice.

Don’t cone here, you’ll be very disappointed and broke. Go to EY at least your bonuses will be worthy of the paper it’s printed on

Hi, just got an offer from A&M as D (Performance Improvement). The base from Glassdoor is accurate (US as a benchmark). Bonus is much higher than my current. Anyway the base seems very low compared to S& SA in US.
1) is it true that the base is that low compared to junior-mid level at S&?
2) i am based in Asia, any different rate compared to other region at A&M?
3) the TC can be 3x that what I can get currently, but i can make partner in few years at PwC. Do you think A&M should be considered?
