Just got an offer for Accenture and I'm asked to choose between San Jose and San Francisco. How will being in each office impact my long term career trajectory? Does it even matter?

Pick SF. It’s in the salesforce tower and the office is brand new and high end

Yup agree

Idk about long term impacts, but SF office is definitely cooler lol and has more people to network with if you ever were to go back to the office

You don’t go into the office unless it is for office events, networking or teamwork.

If you are in the SJ office you can go to SF events or the office if you want. Most of us never go to the office, even pre-pandemic. Same pay scale, same clients.

Isn’t the cost of living in San Francisco ridiculous? Are you required to move to these locations? 

I currently live ~30 min from each office. I wouldn't have to move if I don't want to.

Nisource and Accenture!!! How’s everything been going since NiFit?

No difference. Go to any office you want.

Where you are based has no bearing on what office you can use. I live in nyc and I can go to that office when I’m in the area.

I graduated in May of 22. I transitioned from being an intern to being a full time counselor, now for 6 months. I feel like I might be catching my agency at a tough time, but as an employee it doesn’t seem to be trying anything to keep me here besides the occasional ‘motivational’ posts from the administrative team. I felt like I was lowballed during my offer, and my negotiation salary was denied since this is technically my first “professional” job. Pt 2 in comments:

Have you had to change your start date after accepting an offer and how did it go? I told them I need to give 30 day notice and so I set my start date (incorrectly) assuming the background check and drug screen would take a few days to clear. However, the drug screen is now taking over a week and a half (still not finished, maybe tomorrow). Apparently things are much slower due to staffing issues and labs are backed up. It’s cutting into my 30 day notice significantly. Thoughts?
