MC at Accenture. Not sure I am enjoying my role in the strategy & consulting department. Mostly due to relentless work on GBS projects, End to end process implementation and much focus around s/4 Hana implementation which is sold as a “business transformation story”. Is it different at other consulting firms? Is tech a huge part or is there focus around other areas of the business I.e. investment focus, M&A, governance, commercial?

Dude accenture is an IT firm. Of course its different elsewhere. I have never touched IT/tech in my life

Deloitte Finance & Enterprise Performance does similar work (e.g., GBS, tech implementation, tech PMO)

Tech-focused projects bring more consistent revenue and are one of our big plays

For comparison: I'm supposedly in Tech. "Supposedly" being the operative bit:

I've worked on (internal) strategy (industry, client location, portfolio, ...), V&A, client development, etc. for the past few years as a full-time job, and nobody has ever bothered to ask me if I meet even one of the metrics that are supposedly relevant for my role description (I very much don't).

Your role at this place happens to be what you make of it. I got my actual one as "have a problem, need it fixed? Go ask [my name]!" simply by saying "yes" every time anyone asked for a favour and I didn't actively hate the idea of it.

Love my role now.

Hi everyone!
