I'm between two job offers in the govt consulting space, switching to a more tech focused role (data science/AI, cyber, etc) while staying in the cleared world.

Booz - 130k base (6% 401k match so roughly 8k)
Accenture Federal - 123k base and 20k sign on bonus (no 401k match in first year)

AFS role has some hybrid work (at least 1 day/wk to start) while Booz likely is FT office. Based on company culture, L&D programs, and tech work, which is the better role?

I would go with Booz just based on what I have heard about the culture and work life balance. Its hard though because I would prefer to work at home if that were an option but for me the culture and the team is more important because toxic culture can damange your mental health. I would personally go for Booz I think.

Is there a bonus structure?

You need to know the bonus structure to make the decision. It is usually in your offer letter

What is the 401k match in your second year?

AFS also has a 6% match after the first year, and fully vests after the second year.

Booze all the way. I’ve heard great things about their WLB and all I’ve heard about Accenture projects have been nightmares

like

Yeah that makes sense always a tough choice. Although difference of 5 days of PTO wouldn’t impact my choice. I’ve taken over projects from Accenture and they’ve done absolutely horrid jobs. Churn and burn types. But that’s just my exposure

like

Booz is more of a body shop from what I understand. You’ll likely see more diversity of projects than Accenture since the latter is more known for IT

For me personally, I care a LOT about flexibility so having the hybrid option would be extremely important to me (especially since the pay is comparable). I think if you could negotiate a hybrid work schedule at Booz though, that would be the best option.

Thanks! Yea I think based on the two companies alone Booz seems like the better company so leaning towards it now

^ homeboy hasn’t seen the news. 61 lost contracts since the new administration took over - some $200m and counting. Booz is persona non grata these days.

I’m currently in a lease admin type role, in commercial real estate. I make a base salary of $50.5K with about $9k in bonuses. I’ve continuously received 7-10% raises over the last 3 years. I anticipate getting a promotion this year and would like to get closer to $60k for my base salary. I’m the only person in my role at the company and have been a key person in developing our team as we look to expand. Is this unreasonable? Is there a normal increase given with promotions? Thanks in advance!
