I just got an offer for Accenture’s consulting development program and am wondering if I should negotiate my initial offer as a new grad with little consulting experience. I got another offer for EY business transformation but it pays less.

How do I ask ACN for more money and should I mention my other offers?

Any advice is appreciated!

Thanks everyone for the advice! I’m going to take the ACN offer as is :)

You likely won’t be able to negotiate at entry level

It’s formulaic and standardized (unlike some of our competitors we don’t pay differently for men and women in the same job) the differentiation is in the discretionary pay.

You won’t be able to negotiate the salary sadly. Sorry to break it to you but realistically HR won’t care if you join Acn or EY.

Hi all, I started this project 2 years ago called Wise Charlie (www.wisecharlie.com) which focuses on mental models and critical thinking.

In 2017/2018, I was contemplating going to grad school or starting a project. I decided on the latter. After not really doing much, I picked up on it this summer due to Covid. I now have 100+ customers and a few hundred newsletter subscribers. It’s been rewarding so far and have improved my own thinking.

Happy to answer any questions.
