IBM to Accenture switch
I have total 16 yrs exp (6 yrs as independant contractor). Currently at IBM (5 yrs at senior manager). Making 210k. Got an offer for Accenture SM (L6) in the SAP area. Getting 225k base, 30k RSUs and 30 K sign on bonus. They bringing me in at 12 months level. I am wondering if the move is a good one. Any thoughts ?

Cool are in SAP as well ? And what months at level are they bringing you in at?

I did a similar move years ago. I was an experienced SM (3+ years) and joined as an experienced SM here in Strat which enforces up and out. Here are my thoughts:

A) Come at a SM level and build your network and case to MD. It’ll take sometime to understand ACN. Learn and unlearn things....it’s not about getting to MD it’s about being successful there.

B) Comp and offer seems decent. But you can prolly push them a bit more on RSU and sign on given the job market...even if you can’t. It’s decent.

Lastly welcome to the firm!

Thanks. Is an ACN SM more like an IBM AP ?

My first impression is that this is a lateral move from a seniority standpoint:
SM @ IBM —> SM @ Accenture
Why not go for Managing Director? In terms of comp it seems like a solid package, the RSUs seem generous but you probably have some room with your sign on.
I’m joining Accenture next month as a M (L7).
Best of luck! 🍀

Not great...few small accounts here and there. But its a good company. Just need to get back to being big blue

No SAP. Tech strategy and I don’t know the answer to your second question, months at level? Hmm maybe I should know that. Can you share more? I know that I’m at a M3 level which is the higher tier of that level

Ah! This is so helpful and not something I discussed with my recruiter. It was presented as M3 with a fast track to SM within a year but I’ll clarify. It was also interesting the offer letter has the role as M and the title as SM so need to clarify that as well. I’ll touch base with you once I have an update!

Negotiate more RSU and sign on, they can probably do better. less room to negotiate base

ACN 1 - Really insightful! I’m coming in as a M3 and very excited to join the firm. What does “enforcing up and out” mean?

IBM - still waiting to hear from my recruiter regarding the “months at level” that’s still unclear to me. I though M1: 12 months M2: 24, M3: 36 and at the M3 level you’d then be expected to move to SM within a year or two? stay tuned

I’ve been out of work for a significant amount of time due to Covid decimating my industry. I’ve gone on many interviews and had a few final rounds. I finally received an offer today. The pay is more than I’ve ever made & team seems great. I just can’t help but feel a little disappointed bc it’s not the industry I was in before which was the whole reason I went to law school to begin with. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush, right? Anyone experience a similar situation? Happy you pivoted?

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
