I just reached 200k total comp. How long did it take for you to reach 300k total comp? Currently 32, and want to pay off 200k in student loans and have kids by my own. No partner.

I see nothing wrong with this post. OP worked hard to earn this salary and looking at future options. Given mass debt load I think it’s smart OP is trying to plan for future.

9 k annual premium plus 6k oop. Then there are always no covered procedures, dental (because dental insurance sucks)

I didn’t get into every little detail and I think this post went a little further than it should have.

Also the 500 a month in clothing is averaged out for myself and kids. We easily spend 1k+ on shoes and sneakers people forget that kids outgrow clothing every 4-6 months.

@Op congrats for many reasons.

1. Your total comp is excellent for your age. (32)

2. Your total comp is even more excellent being at Accenture.

My understanding is you’d need to be an industry celebrity (SME, speak at conferences, support big revenue generation opps) to cross the 300k mark at that firm.

3. Your ambition is amazing (get out of debt, have kids on your own, be self made made and self sufficient...)

$200K is decent comp and getting to 300K is a function of your yoe / current role / leadership. How many kids?

Oh and two kids. (Not sure why that was mentioned...)

This all depends on the city u live in honestly. I'm in the Midwest a manager and total is higher than that. Compared to someone at my level living in NY it is a BIG difference

At ACN 300k should be doable at SM depending on bonus in Strategy. In MC my total comp only got to mid 200s as SM, then MD was a pretty significant step up (much wider ranges at MD).

I’m talking about when I was at Accenture Strategy. S& bonuses can exceed 60% at the equivalent level of an Accenture SM.

Hey Friends! Looking for advice!

My wife is a Chartered Accountant with 7+ years of experience as credit manager, underwriting loans with some leading banks in India. She just got her EAD and is looking for jobs, open to switch profiles as well. Do you think she would fit in for any role here in Seattle, WA? She has been a star performer and promoted twice in the last 3 years. One problem is companies look for US experience which she does not have, we just moved here early this year.

Are there any companies hiring remote rn and willing to take a change on someone looking for a career change? I’m a senior manager in operations, but I just don’t like what I do. Honestly, the money doesn’t speak to me anymore either. I understand I probably need to take a step or two down in level, but I am willing to grind! Thank you!
