Is it worth to work towards being promoted to MD in Accenture? Street is hovering like a vulture to increase the bottom line and MDs’ seem to get a brunt of it to make more sales while bonus go down.

stay away from tech esp del/ops. the margin is shrinking as the indian IT firms and their cost is too competitive. you may more projects but it’s tough to meet your bottom with small margins

The draw for ACCN is that we are publicly traded. It’s harder to get rid of people here. Private firms just fire whoever tf they want whenever. Here you can stagnate at manger for years and years and skate by. Also, we are better for females and minorities because we are at the forefront of the effort to inject them into this industry. There are good places and bad places to be here ...it’s a game of luck but if you want work life balance and are willing to put in 65% total effort you’ve got the place for it in a public firm!

MD for strat, consulting, tech or Ops?

Either.. FWIW, I am in Digital

No. Move up at ACN. Then jump to a firm that will actually pay you

I’m actually curious about the things that draw people to Accenture and the other publicly traded firms - seems there is a reason this is so rare in professional services. For those at Accenture that want to be MD or whatever the P equivalent is, what motivates you to put in the hours there vs a place where others at the top of the mountain are the only other shareholders you need to worry about?

M2 - Is it maybe the fact that there is a clear path as long as you “put in the time,” or “do what’s necessary” vs. other places that might not have such a clear path?

A2 how long is “put in the time”

Not sure! 12-15 years I guess?

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary.

I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
