If you get laid off at ACN do you get a severance package? And can you at least get unemployment insurance for a while as you look for a new job? (Cont.)

Best of luck in tomorrow's meeting. From what I seen here during the Deloitte and PWC layoffs is that the fishbowl fam sticks together when times are rough - I'm sure a few folks on here would be happy to refer you to their respective forks if you're willing to stay in consulting.

And to consultanting, obviously I know ACN doesn't currently use the title partner. But since almost every other consulting firm uses partner for its leadership (since they are true partnerships whereas ACN is a public company) I still use that term in situations where I'm explaining to people in consulting but outside ACN.

like

@OP - So you were asking people in consulting outside Accenture an Accenture-specific question. Now all of it makes perfect sense.

like

The question about severance is mostly generic and consulting firm agnostic. The question about unemployment insurance is totally totally consulting firm agnostic. So no. The answer to your rhetorical fail question is no.

like

Was it for cause (performance, etc)?

I got an ominous email from a partner I don't know asking for a vaguely defined meeting tomorrow. I'm on the bench now and don't have experience being fired/unemployed.

Definitely negotiate severance and end date so you look like you are employed.

You should be able to get unemployment as log as you aren't fired for cause

What group OP? And yes usually a few weeks of full benefits and then unemployment

I’m currently in the process of being converted from contractor to permanent. In my initial conversations I was under the impression that I was in a different pay grade and asked for a salary 25k higher than the max allotted for my position. I feel like it gave the impression that I don’t know what I’m doing. Any suggestion how I can recover from this?

I’ve heard salaries have gone up quite a bit in the midst of the pandemic and I’m wondering if this is true for EAs as well. There’s a myriad of data online about EA salaries depending on age/experience but I’m interested in salaries from jobs accepted in 2020/2021 specifically!

Please feel free to share:

- Your salary from any job accepted in 2020/2021

- Your length of experience

Thank you!
