Leave Accenture Strategy for Strategy&? Currently 1 year post MBA. Mostly concerned about better exit opps.

ACN Pros:
Culture
On track to make manager next year

S& pros:
People + comp

Being brought in as an SA at S& at $168k

Yeah ACN Strat M1 is 170k + 8% which I would start a year from now. S& SA1 is basically the same base but a higher bonus so higher total comp.

S& is only bringing in SA’s who are going to be manager in 6 months. What group is the offer in? I was told 80% CDD 20% Growth Strategy. Why do you say people are a pro? I think people at Accenture Strategy are more of a pro I.e. cooler/nicer/less uptight (could be wrong, just my experience).

S& exit opps and pay are both MUCH, MUCH better than Accenture Strat for sure.

Sure

Exit opps are similar (though S& has a slight advantage) , really depends on what you did at each firm and your personal growth story

168 is the base for a new hire MBA so you did lose a year of credit. Their performance is iffy and they still don’t fit well in PwC. I think everyone who started from my school is gone, and several due to lack of work.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
