I'm ~7 months into my new role at Accenture. During the time I accepted the offer, I also had one from Slalom. Accenture hasn't been that great. I'm not doing the work I would like and there's just a bunch of other BS on the side for me to deal with. Sat on the bench for my first 4 months and then they put me on a staff aug project...I feel like I made the wrong decision. (Cont)

Slalom does a lot of staff aug as well.

I really liked the energy of Slalom and all the fun office activities when I was there, but I’m sure the pandemic has put a damper on that

My Slalom GM said “no staff aug” during my interview.. then immediately tried to staff me at a company as a staff aug PM....

The reason I chose Accenture was because they are more reputable and I could move to different cities to live if I wanted while Slalom is more local based.

I don't want to look like a job hopper. I have a 2, 1 year stints. Is it worthwhile to reach back out to Slalom to see if they filled the role I interviewed for?

Go for it, life is short
