OP I hate to be negative, but no case means it’s a non client facing role? You should be fine! Good luck!

How did you apply? Would like to try as well

What type of Corp functions role?

I'll spill the beans more later 😉 Don't wanna give myself away until after the interviews lol.

EY1, I applied via their Platinion site. I had a former colleague who now works at BCG refer me, though. That's all I did to get an initial interview. Granted, I used to work at IBM with the senior manager who interviewed me second, so that probably didn't hurt lol. Building a network and never burning bridges can do wonders for getting a foot in the door.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
