Offer from Accenture 8+ YOE software engineer. Should I be brought in at manager level? It says associate manager but that seems equiv to senior consultant at Deloitte.

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.

What should I do in a scenario where I was hired (12+ years) with far less salary than(~20% less) than other members (4+ experience) in team and asked to take 80% of team's responsibilities. The hiring manager low balled me sensing that I am in dire need of that job and now I am stuck for 2 years now. The company is a big shot but I am literally getting paid less than what I used to make 10 years ago. Should I try to move within or look outside?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
