What is first year partner compensation?
Hi Everyone !!!
This June I completed my 9 months at Career Level 12 and Sub Level 3 I.e, CL 12.3 at Accenture Operations. My Annual Talent Discussion and One-on-One with People Lead is complete as of last week.
I have 3 questions now :
1. When can I expect to move to 12.2 ?
2. What is the general hike I can expect ? And when it is reflected ?
3. When will be the variable pay will be paid out ?
Can anyone here help me with this performance cycle part ? I am really confused.

You were bamboozled. Risk isn’t consulting
So just like anything else risk advisory has multiple competencies. The bulk of the business is indeed internal audit and IT audit, and they really shouldn’t market that as consulting.
You need to look for specialty ones - Cyber, SAP security and GRC, IT risk management, etc. Those guys actually do implementation work and not assessments. Questions to ask is how much of your work is implementation/improvement
Vs assessment, who is your buyer (CIO and CFO vs VP of IA).
Not sure what firm you’re in, but my suggestion would be to look into those competencies first and try to align to them.
One thing to add to this is the term assurance in the practice is usually a strong indicator it is an audit role, albeit not external.
The upside is depending which firm you are in, you may be under the same umbrella as a lot of the work P1 mentioned. PwC is the one exclusion I believe since last I checked their risk group rolled up to an assurance umbrella.
Was in a similar boat and I hear you... however keep in mind a few things
1) this type of work is highly regulated, important, and never going away. Having a solid understanding of this type of stuff will basically make you forever employable.
2) at a very young age you’re typically having difficult conversations and interactions with decision makers - i didn’t feel like I got as much of this once I pivoted
3) career trajectory in risk tends to be extremely accelerated because people bounce
Grass is always greener homie
OP, I would recommend getting out sooner rather than later. Preferably into another practice internally, but leave entirely if needed.
I was once in your boat, switched practices, and never looked back. Unfortunately, the big 4 don’t brand risk advisory correctly (likely because no one would sign up if they did 😂).
DM me if you’d like to chat further
Commenting cuz I'd like to hear the answer I am in the same boat
It’s essentially IT audit
I’m actually in a forensic/ internal audit and enterprise risk type of role. There is no implementation so far that I’m aware of and 99% of what we’re doing is assessments or what I perceive as “check mark this box” type of investigations. I’m not sure if anything I’m doing is even transferable to real consulting...
