In a similar situation. Data engineer. Similar YOE and was told I’m borderline C8/C7, but they put me at C8.
Not really. I was recently laid off and unemployed so I am a little bit desperate. But they matched my previous base that I was being paid as a mgr at my previous firm and came in higher than any competing offer, so I was ok with it.
You should try and get CL7 since you probably won’t get a promotion until many many years from now
Does this matter as much if salary is still high? I guess would just lead to slower career growth within Accenture but anywhere else the companies look at “senior software engineer” title atleast in the software field of work
Have you managed teams or are you an IC? If you don't have fairly significant people leadership experience, CL8 is correct
There are two ways to think of this. If you’re good with the salary, come in, surprise everyone by over-performing and get in queue for promotion. Which is the best way to get a salary bump. Or, if title matters, fight for the higher one - but with it comes higher expectations. If you’ve managed teams a while and believe you are a manager, then go for it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t focus too much on the title. It’s a promotion level we have in Tech and we don’t have the equivalent in consulting services.
