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.

Here is the TLDR LEK doesn’t suck post.

IMHO, our stint in consulting’s purpose is to develop a corporate strategy skillset. Doing CDDs is one of if not the best way to get a ton of reps and variety in our 18 - 24 month tenure.

With options among MBB, T2 incl S&, EYP, and general Big 4 / ACN MC:

- Take MBB (can ask for CDD, overall better comp package)
- Reject B4 MC (won’t get it here)
- T2 (pick other T2s if you want way more strategy projects that aren’t CDD / growth strategy)
