Hi Everyone !!!
This June I completed my 9 months at Career Level 12 and Sub Level 3 I.e, CL 12.3 at Accenture Operations. My Annual Talent Discussion and One-on-One with People Lead is complete as of last week.
I have 3 questions now :
1. When can I expect to move to 12.2 ?
2. What is the general hike I can expect ? And when it is reflected ?
3. When will be the variable pay will be paid out ?
Can anyone here help me with this performance cycle part ? I am really confused.

Keep in contact with him as a mentor. However, don’t stay just because of him. Best believe you’re expendable and so is he at the end of the day. Just keep in touch and you’ll be fine. May even work with him again in the future. do what’s best for YOU
🚨🚨🚨The grammar police have arrived! Everyone remain calm 🚨🚨🚨
Once you have an offer on the table (or well before), try talking to him about it. If he’s the perfect boss, he’ll be rooting for you to succeed. Having a mentor/friend in the industry will always help
Was just in your same position!! Ended up leaving and am so happy I did. My boss was 100% supportive, understanding, and knew it was what was best for me. Look out for yourself! These are important years for growth and learning opportunities. If you’re not getting that, get out!!! Also, know your boss won’t be hurt; like everyone said, if they truly care about your success, they will be supportive. They’ll probably try to keep you, but know that you need to look out for yourself!!!
Simple, odds are they are leaving too! Ask them where they are going and go with them.
Same boat homie. Take him with you
Do not singularly stay for one person. Relationships and circumstances can change in a heartbeat. Retain them as a life and professional mentor, but move on
@digital strategist 1 well, that’s awkward, thanks for correcting me! *sincere response*
Also, small thing — I believe you meant to use “bear” not “bare”
You’ve bared your soul about not being able to bear to leave.
But, reiterating, you’ve got this!! And hopefully your boss will be supportive
wait, sorry, just saw you were a strategist. swap portfolio school for college or whatever.
did you go to portfolio school to have a job where you liked someone or to do rad shit. it may be tough, but you’ll stay in touch and possibly cross paths again. in the meantime, there are tons of lovely managers out there. who knows, you may like the next one just as much of not more. but if the agency is sinking then you need to go.
I'm in what feels like an identical situation. My manager is an amazing strategist and an even greater mentor. I owe my growth, success, and progress to them. But I'm frustrated by the lack of opportunities I see down the line for me. Even though my work is okay at the moment, I need to face the reality that it's time for me leave. I'm glad you posted this OP bc everyone's responses are helpful and validating.
I’ve had it go both ways. I’ve had one boss champion me and coach me through my new job process (offer, negotiating, trying to counter the agency that we worked at together, etc.). I’ve also had a boss turn around and try to figure out what they could do to replace me ASAP. So, just be careful and make sure you truly know your relationship with them. If there a “manager” and “mentor” not just a “boss”, then they’ll be there for you all the way!
Oh I totally relate to this! I was in exactly the same position 18 months ago. We went through 6 months of long conversations about my role and what I wanted to do and trying to make it work. He didn’t want me to leave as much as I didn’t want to leave, but ultimately I ended up going. It was really sad, but at the end of the day he just couldn’t give me what I wanted in the job or financially. I left because I needed to leave to get more experience and the team structure left no room for me to do anything more. I’m not going to lie, I really miss working with him, but I don’t regret it at all. My advice is, look at it pragmatically, take out the emotions and focus on what skills you want to develop and how you’re going to do that. If you go into a new job/agency fully accepting and understanding it’s going to be different, it’s much easier! I still keep in touch with him and I left on great terms. Get the experience, do two years, and go back in a higher position and considerably more money. I stay in touch with my old boss all the time and he has always supported me and totally understood. Make sure you talk to him because you may not have to leave altogether, but options to move within the business or opportunity to create a new role could be possible - these were all options I discussed before I left.
Don't worry, I'll understand
@digital strategist 1 - I don’t think you have to have an offer on the table before talking to your boss. There could be alternatives to leaving. If OP were to have an offer, you couldn’t have those discussions and it becomes more “ultimatum” like: i’m leaving unless... internal changes and moves take time. There’s a high chance that OP’s boss doesn’t want him/her to leave so give everyone a chance to work things out before deciding to jump ship! When I left, I knew exactly what the situation was and my decision was fully informed. Never leave wondering what could have happened if you talked to your boss...!
Just curious. What makes your boss so great?
He's probably on his way out too
Why don’t you just come talk to me about it? We’ll work something out
