Negotiating offer with Accenture on a Technology Strategy (TS&A) Consultant.

Offer:
B level. 117.5k, 9% bonus, 15k signing.

Is this a fair offer?
How does the compensation progression and Accenture look?


Experience:
Vancouver, 2yr MBA grad, 2 years independent consultant exp, 5 year BA exp.

Current:
Implementation Consultant Principal at Ceridian, 100% WFH. 120k, 15% bonus.


Pretty disappointed in the offer and leaning on declining.
Any tips for negotiating higher?

@agree with A1, manager level and base salary should definitely be higher than your current salary. Negotiate with them

Tell them you’re disappointed and were expecting a higher number. Be prepared to give some basic rationale (I.e. you’ve done homework and feel this is low for someone with your experience and skill set)

Not a fair offer, you’d essentially be taking a pay cut. You have the experience, you should expect more. Basically what D1 said

That’s not a fair shake, at all.
I’d decline if I were you.

That is a low offer. Negotiate the base to a level you are comfortable with. Don't settle. The market is hot and everyone is hiring.

Sounds like you got your MBA from Phoenix. Looks to be a fair offer.

I would negotiate for C level or manager depending on how hard you want to push

Thats above range if Canada

Yes this is Canada.

What's a typical compensation progression over the years?
And what is typically # of years for each promo?

Why you want to take a paycut?

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.

Can you help explain why a team would be able to afford hiring an individual under PDM at a higher salary but unable to offer the same package under the Traditional route?

For context, I’m currently negotiating for a role and have expressed some of my concerns. My recruiter has been very helpful, but I’d like to better understand the reasoning before making my decision. The offer is $100k for PDM, but $85k max if brought on as Traditional.

Thank you for your help and any additional thoughts!
