I keep hearing it's easier to make manager at Accenture than any of the Big 4 firms. Thoughts?

It's so easy to make manager... do you mean senior manager?

Our managers are 200-300

Total cash comp excluding retirement. The problem with comparing base is that some firms give higher bonuses. 300 comp is likely around 200 base + 100 bonus. I realize that all else equal base is better because bonus can always change, but regardless I think total comp is the more relevant comparison.

Pwc2, keep in mind that is VERY rare. Like VERY VERY ease. Most people would make manager in 5-6 years here. Closer to 6.

The typical timeline now (non strat) is: 1 year analyst, 1 year senior analyst, 3 consultant.. so 5 years total.

Acn has options to get promoted rapidly of you are kicking ass. The big 4 dont really offer that option. For some reason people confuse rapid promotions w easier to make a level

It also pays less at that level I believe?

Depends on your DTE. In MC/strategy, I don't think so.

@PWC1 I think we were pretty competitive. I made $150-$190 base during my years as Mgr in SF.

Yea I was 105 as M1 at Acn but it was 2010

McK isn't exactly a big 4. :)

M1 - your managers base is 200-300 or all in?

I know a Boston Accenture guy who went to manager in 3 years too. I don't see that as much here, entry-level managers have been doing manager stuff as a senior for a year or more.

As a first yr M at D u can expect ~160 base with 20-30k bonus in S&O.

Aren't ACN levels a bit different though? I've met managers who are 4 years out of undergrad at ACN. That just isn't possible at D unless in exceptional circumstances that I've never heard of.

I have three years of experience in agency recruiting and HR. I’m currently making 47k as an HR Coordinator. I’m starting to feel bitter that I took a pay cut to transition to HR from agency recruiting so I put myself open to recruiters on LinkedIn and got a Sr Recruiter contract offer with a company that I’m familiar with for $38/hour. I don’t love the company’s culture so I’m going to keep looking but would it be worth leveraging the offer with my current org? I’ve only been there for 7 months

Hi Fishes,

My last working date with TCS is on 4th March 2022 and now they are offering me 80% hike and Canada onsite opportunity and telling that will initiate visa as soon as I take resignation back and also ready to provide written confirmation. On the other hand I have an offer from IBM of 120% hike fixed and performance bonus would be there which I am not considering now.

Which one would be better? please suggest based on your knowledge and experience.
