Offer from Accenture SAP practice w/ 10% higher salary - consultant position. Can someone who had worked in EY and Accenture shed some light if this is a good move in terms of brand and culture?

No idea on brand / culture. But you shouldn't settle for anything less than 15-20% when you move since you're giving up your network and sacrificing getting a great rating vs an average one at the new firm.

Accenture's top dog in the tech and implementation space, so I don't think it'll hurt in terms of brand. But you do need to be aware that the firm is pushing a regional model, so you may have less travel as an effort will be made to staff you in your region.

Another thing to ensure is that you are C&M (client and market) rather than on the CD&O track (client delivery and operations). Career progression and salary increases are mediocre on the CD&O track

I'm not SAP, but having spent multiple years at both firms I would agree with A1 that Accenture is better at technology implementation (at the very least, perceived that way in the market), EY better on the strategy and assessment work. I think the culture is better at EY and the work life balance is better, but ask 10 people and you'll get 10 different stories. Maybe I just had a bad string of engagements at ACN. Sometimes it just depends on the project.

Accenture is the place to be if in SAP. I work in SAP cyber security myself and you will be working with best in class tech consulting personnel. Work is selling like crazy so promotion and upward mobility is easier.

Ok I'm still negotiating. Keeping money completely aside, I was hoping to get an understanding of how the culture of@both firms compare. Is ACN considered a downgrade in terms of brand? What about upward mobility? Thanks in advance

Going through with a Salesforce consulting role as well in client and markets. @op why was your bump only 10%? What's your stats right now ?

Thoughts on this for any fellow RDs?

What are some strategies or tactics you have developed which are very successful in small markets (I'm talking SUPER small)? I feel like I've thrown all my darts and some markets still can't find talent.

Some things I've tried, here in Canada:

- non-profit/employment centers
- indeed headunting
- getting field/hiring managers to post around town
- getting on local FB groups
- local schools if there are any
- physical posters
- newspaper/old media (not great)

Ideas needed 😭

“Strategist” seems like a rare title to see when you go in house. Are there similar roles with different titles - I could be wrong, but I don’t think it’s an agency exclusive role.

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?
