I’m considering some roles at Accenture Strategy (namely Manager level). Is anyone willing to provide insight (culture, experience for Black practitioners, comp, etc)? I’m coming from Big4, if that helps at all. Thanks!

I’m a SM in the Strategy Practice. Comp is largely standardized, but has variations based on flight pattern into the practice (sponsored MBAs from T7’s etc).

Experience for me has been largely positive, but you will need to invest into relationships to set yourself up for success. Experiences also vary based on region and practice alignment.

Happy to chat separately if you’d like and answer specific questions.

Good people to work with, reasonable WLB. Biggest complaint from folks right now is that we are pretty far from pay parity with peer strategy firms, which is driving attrition. Manager I’d target 180-200 base depending on number of years at comparable level you have coming in.

I just had an initial phone screen for a new Senior HR Generalist role, and the salary is $10k less than the low number I offered when he asked for my salary expectations. I’m at $85 with my current role, so I asked for $90-$95 for this role. However he told me the salary is $80. I’m really unhappy in my current job so I’m wondering how I can either negotiate for more salary (he said there may be wiggle room) or, explain that the $80 number he offered may be okay, depending on other benefits?

I’m an HR Professional and don't have compensation background so was curious how other companies move an individual contributor into a management role and if there are negative compensation impacts. For example, with my company's current compensation structure, a Principal Engineer would move into a Director role in management as it would keep bonus target % the same. With this structure, employees who've never managed people before are put in higher level management positions in order to maintain their current bonus target %. If I put the Principal Engineer into lower management level that is more aligned to their job, then the employee would get less bonus target %. I am having a tough sale to entice the employee to take the management role if it results in less money for them. Therefore, at the company, we have a lot of Sr Managers and Directors who barely know how to manage people. Is this practice/structure common with other companies?
