My wife started as an M at Accenture earlier this year coming from industry. I’ve never worked at Accenture or any b4, but I had to explain to her how up or out works. She also didn’t know that she came in with 24 months at level and what that meant. Really surprised none of this was communicated during hiring or by her manager.

I don’t think Accenture is rigid with up or out from my very limited experience.

I’ve been away from ACN for 4 years so take it fwiw, but agree ACN is not as rigid as others with up or out, especially so in current times. Know of a junior resource who was recently promoted despite 6 months on bench the past year.

Up or out is not a written policy anywhere so do not expect a formal communication around it. TAL / MAL should have been discussed though, or at least mentioned when your wife may have probed performance review cycles and roadmap to next promotion.

Up or out really only applied to strategy but even. Ow we have started to make exceptions (I’ve seen them keep an SM at 7 years of level.

This isn't a place that communicates well - at all.
I'm an experienced hire as well with the same experience; I'm not surprised she wasn't told anything.

The risk is when headcount reductions happen. That is when they clear out some dead wood (like 5+ years at level) but beyond that you won’t get squeezed out in normal business environment.

This is the best answer.

Dw about up and out in the current environment. We are sold out.

Does anybody have experience with a physician wanting to transition into healthcare/healthtech consulting at an early or late stage in their physician career? What entry level / salary would they be looking that? It wouldn’t make sense if have to start from the bottom

Happy to chat about a few ways you can go.

I was also hired from industry with MAL and it wasn’t communicated how much I got. I only knew to ask based on feedback here and from friends within the firm
