Looking to switch from ACN CFM to consulting - been here <6 months but SM is telling me I have to wait 1 year. I’d rather leave than wait a year but want to stay with ACN, is there anything I can do?

Not much you can really do. HR is usually pretty strict about the 1 year rule.

Second M1’s statement. Just finished the process myself. A realistic timeline for you would be Jan 2020 for transfer. The process is slow sprinkled with politics and formalities.

Thank you both! I really want to stay at ACN but this role is just not a good fit Do you think having director support would help accelerate the timeline?

:( That’s a bummer to hear - thanks for the insight !

Late comment OP. But was the role that bad. I’m currently interviewing for the role and I’m curious.

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). 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.
