That depends on if you are changing job with a start up or with either of Meta, Amazon, Google, Microsoft or Apple.

Hi,

To provide more insights.
Last week I met 2 5YOE that resigned from Capgemini Invent.
One of them switched to a software editor.

During COVID, the growth rate of software industry was way superior to consulting.

A few trends:
One of the major trends is productized service subscription-based billing.
Accenture bills a toll for AI-enabled consulting.
Clients purchase direction tends to rule out more and more intuitu personae since these direction are getting the upper hand on the power map.
The pressure is stronger than ever on business and consulting culture reinvention. The push is hard.
Most big players in the industry faced a sharp decrease in strategy mission to the profit of ever increasing digital revenues.
Inflation-index prices can contribute to growth and to expectations growth if the scenario applies but recent moves by central banks are not making it likely (though CSR might be a way to achieve it).
Thing is, clients now expects holistic and tech-leveraged USP plus proof of corporate social responsibility and carbon neutrality.

Where times are uncertain, as in crisis, there’s always a premium in relevant risk-taking.
The thing is to be able to hold it when the crisis ends.

That was my 2 cents about it.

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.

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?
