For someone from big four it’s useless even with a pay raise. Accenture at best is a refined Infosys.

People frequently switch back from industry to consulting. As they bring networks they are usually promoted higher. Keep collecting relationship points at your organization.

I don’t know if Accenture qualifies as “career accelerator “. If you getting a solid bump in comp, perhaps it’s worth it vs having no scope of promotion at KPMG

like

The comp would be a considerable jump and I don’t foresee myself staying there too long because I eventually want to do my own thing. But everyone seems to have awful experiences at ACN, so do I just go and use my time well for 2-3 years then bounce?

If only 2-3 years and seeking higher comp, it's worth seeing what you get on paper. Especially if remote.

That aside, not recommended. Look at Accenture posts on Reddit. You'll see.

This is helpful. Thank you

Piling on to others. ACN has no strategy and is not investing in skilling up people so not quite sure there is a compelling value prop other than the title and salary increase you mentioned. Add to that the leadership you will work with are door knobs so you will be banging your head on the wall at least by week 6, after the sizzle has faded.

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?
