I’ve started having exploratory discussions with folks at Accenture Song. Would love to get inside perspective from others there. Particularly if you made the leap from agency or media. I’ve got 10+ y leadership experience in creative production management video/design/digital and love both client-side strategy & execution and operations/team leadership. The directions and number of roles in consulting is dizzying. How do I figure out where I’d be best positioned? What’s W/L balance like there?

OP - sorry you’re hearing a lot of negativity. But if you’re honestly interested in Song then pursue it. Is Song part of a broader and bigger organization? Yes. Does Song have pieces that operate like an agency? Yes. Would your skills and experience fit in to what Song has as a
Marketing practice? Yes. Does Song as part of Accenture have a broader and bigger remit and scale than traditional media or creative agencies? Yes. Are there times when the battle rhythm of the business lead to some management behaviors that you will find annoying? Yes and as you have 10+ years of experience you likely have dealt with it before. Do you get to apply your creative talents in an environment that needs and wants it? Yes.

Net-net lots of good things. Also lots of challenges that earnest folks are working to change and overcome. The opportunity to ale an impact though is very different and at a much greater scale. My .02 cents.

but I want to work in (Full Stack) Java development I have learned spring boot, angular, rest API, AWS CI/CD pipeline and I have good knowledge of core java, collections.

Can anyone help me wrap my head around this post Series C start-up equity offer? It’s an IP director position, the the base is $170 with 10% bonus (both lower than I was expecting). There’s also an equity component: 0.15% of current fully diluted equity. This equates to about 30000 shares at a strike price of $2. They also indicate the preferred stock price is $6 and preferred stock equity is $188k (whatever that means). They are in the middle of a new financing and valuation round.

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
