Lateral from Accenture Consulting to KPMG advisory. Similar city, switching to equivalent career level. Initial offer has a matching salary but I think I can negotiate up. From what I’ve learned the work will be more interesting than what my current group focuses on at Acventure. Considering all things even is there any downside to the switch in terms of company reputation etc. Most of my searches end up with KPMG audit and not a huge amount of info on advisory

Haven’t jumped. Asking for feedback and also mentioned I can probably negotiate up

OP, between consulting firms do not jump for less than 20 to 30% range.

Under the hood, they are all the same with small caveats and nuances between them (including being stronger in some markets than others) as well as highly varied feel between practices and projects.

A lateral jump for same pay is a huge no go imo.

I agree with this. Typically takes longer for promo for exp hires too

@OP I came from kpmg advisory to Accenture so can provide some feedback. I really wouldn’t jump for anything less than 20-30% bump, it’s not worth it IMO. Kpmg has great people but the culture can be pretty cut throat and some of the work can be dull as well. Some of the work can be interesting, but like accenture, you may find yourself in a PMO role or staff aug. feel free to DM

I am in Sydney, I was offered to either take a redundancy or find a role that was 100% sold, FT 6 months+.

I chose to take redundancy with financial incentive from Accenture Interactive.

One month later I started at KPMG w/ promotion and I think higher than base manager salary.

Always push for more if you are jumping.

Pay raise or don’t jump- why would you put yourself through the brain damage for the same job (essentially) and pay?
