I’m looking at making the jump from Accenture to West Monroe. Any advice? Do I really have to go into the office? Is the pay worth the difference in work life balance? I will be in the energy + utilities group in LA.

I made the switch and very happy I did. I also came from Accenture. If you’re on the bench, you’ll be expected to be in the office 4 days a week. If you’re on a project, then 2-3 days of “in-market” time per week. That just means you’re either in the office, with clients, or connecting in person with colleagues in some way. We don’t enforce via badge scans. The point is to be connected, establish relationships, collaborate, and be present. WLB is quite good, depending on your project. Our culture is very family friendly and we don’t have a “profit over everything” mentality. Happy to answer more questions.
