I’m realizing how much client list shapes perceived value in advertising. People from marquee brands get more attention regardless of actual work depth. It’s frustrating how sticky that signal is. Did anyone feel brand pedigree outweighed skill?

Some names carry weight and some don't, that's just reality. And we should be more aware of that than most people. It's not that brand pedigree outweighs skill. It's more like it's assumed that big names have their pick of talent, and choose the best, so being associated with a great brand will bring credibility and cachet.

Working as CAL Manager with Accenture S&C India. Offered ~GBP 76.5K (fixed plus flexi) at Manager Grade by Deloitte London.

Prior to Accenture, I have already served as S&O Manager with Deloitte India for ~1.5 yrs - so this would be my second stint with Deloitte as Manager "again".

2 questions:
1. Should I ask for Senior Mgr (AD) grade - to which they have already said NO
2. Is GBP 76.5K sitting at the lower end of M grade in Deloitte UK? What should be a good expectation for the role
