Mentee of mine has 2 offers out of undergrad:
Accenture Strategy OR Microsoft Consulting Services (seems like IT/tech implementation, not product role). Said AS offer comp was much higher. Thoughts?

strategy for sure

AS for sure. Higher pay and learning progression. If you dislike wait it out a few years and enter MSFT at a higher pay band down the road

ACN Strat for short-term (if they want to go back for MBA)

Microsoft for long-term (More career stability, internal opportunities, etc.)

Reasonings also, would be of great help!

YOE and TC for both?

Microsoft the pay may not be as high but I am sure there is a lot of upward mobility.

If new grad, go work in strategy at Accenture for a few years first, and move to corporate later

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.
