Just accepted an offer from AWS but something in me is making me hesitant. Might be the bad rep on culture and WLB or that the base is same. I feel like I could switch groups here at Accenture and get the same type of work. I already like it here too. And given my history of job hopping it felt like I finally found a place I liked at Accenture. I eventually would like to work in tech but Amazon wasn’t first choice. I could use it as a stepping stone. Should I rescind my acceptance?

You’ll be even more worthy for Accenture after 1 year of AWS experience.
If you are consultant at Accenture now, do 1 year at AWS and if you don’t like it, come back into Accenture as a Manager.

Take the job. Do it for a year and then jump if you don’t like it. AMZN has such bad market reputation and you can always use that as an excuse to jump the ship.

This. Am doing this too.

Base is same but TC is going from 135 to 165

Stay. Jump is not too big and amazon has no benefits.

I think you’ll learn more being at Amazon. Can always try it for a year then do something else.

WLB really depends on the team.

AWS offers 4-yr RSU vesting as a major incentive. They give sign-on bonuses the first year or two also. Total comp should be more. That said, take accepting job offers seriously and back out only if you must.

Stay at Accenture

Stay. If Amazon isn’t your first choice, why leave a good situation?

Help me understand what you mean when you say “tech” - very broad. If you’re at an inflection point in your career, take the risk and go to Amazon. To your point, Amazon opens up doors.

For questions as to why you are looking to leave your current firm.. I am looking to move because for some reason I am hand-held a lot and given simpler tasks, so I am getting bored and want more challenging / much more fast paced environment. Also kind of bored because I am on one project for a long time and I want exposure to variety of projects. Is this a fair answer or would I be seen as arrogant? Is there a better way to frame my answer?
