@D1 yes consultant is third level, coming after senior analyst. I came in at level, so the company made a competitive offer. But I have lingering feelings that because the offer was so high, they see me as being 'overpayed', therefore I'm expected to overperform to receive base incentive. not that this is a problem, but it's leaves me a bit of a sour taste when I receive 0% raise even when I bust my ass + some more because 'i should know the reason'.
I'm not trying to sound ungrateful, I just sense a 'we pay you so we own you 100%, and you should stop whining' attitude.
Don’t do it - boutiques aren’t great though you’ll pull some quick cash. If the economy hits the fan, it’s not pretty. Also, the ability to monetize and build equity as they will state is meaningless - the founder and friends of founders take all the cash.
Consultant is the third level at Accenture, right?
I feel like you’re making good money there and they obviously value you - no point in switching
Currently at top of my level income bracket (consultant). ~140k total comp, includes ESPP, bonus, etc.
Middle sizes firm doesn't do ESPP, slightly lower 401k match.
I'm baffled by what to say...
Thanks in advance for your help
@EY1 thank you for the insight. Does the same hold even if they're a botique that's been acquired by a public company?
Acn has a tendency to promote people when they acauire companies. Well not really promote them...the alignment of old positions to new position usually results in a one lvel bump up
Ok...small companies are pretty good but the bigger question is why are you looking and what do you value?
If the smaller company is offering no travel that could be good.
So the consulting firm that's making the offer is a firm that's been acquired by a public company.
I feel like there may be more upward mobility at a smaller firm. I don't mind travel. In fact what is driving me is that currently I feel stagnant at Accenture due to lack of projects being sold in my alignment. So I have to do the work that I'm slotted for rather than having the flexibility to explore roles that require me to learn things that I would like to grow my career towards
Public companies and consulting are a tough match. It’s bad enough to have to report to the street, but living 90 days at a time (sprints) and very little long term investments is a tough one to deliver on.
Yes small businesses dont run huge benches....but their lower rates means that clients are more likely to keep them.
