Offer help. I have 3 years in consulting and make 140k. I was laid off from ACN Strategy as an analyst and able to sell myself hard to another company. ACN wants me back, and will match my salary, but I am also getting offers from Firms for around 210 from different “boutique” consultancy and some T2.

Should I go back to ACN, make manager and look for an exit?

Should I join Deloitte Strategy as a SC make manager and exit?

Should I go to one of the boutique as a manager for 210 base?

Boutique- Money talks and Accenture always want you every year

At D it might take you 2 years to make a manager and the salary wouldn’t increase dramatically you are leaving 120k on the table just for a brand

I don’t know why you’d give up 70k for a firm that laid you off

@Author - D is lengthening the levels and our comp is not exactly impressive. Great firm if you are at the planning for kids stage (benefits and flexibility are great - the firm does walk the walk on this), but if you are trying to maximize your paycheck and progression, not so much.

Why? You think if I go back to ACN or Deloitte My exit will look like 210?

How were you getting paid 140k with 3 YOE? How is Deloitte offering you 170k comp with 3 YOE?

Genuinely curious as I’ve never seen those numbers with that tenure

This is a dumb hill to die on. This is what our strat pays and is a well-known/understood figure.

I legitimately think joining a company “because of the exits” is profoundly incorrect. I hear this so often- do you really think FAANG will admire the 2 years you spent hating your job at an accounting firm?

I hear ya…. As context I have roughly 2-3 consultants reach out every week for msft roles. The refrain is “I gained some great experience leading projects, but want better culture/wlb / innocence in tech.”

For many it resonates. But its a super crowded lane. I can literally close my eyes and see the newly minted deloitte manager resume who does IT operating models.

Go to Boutique T2 , forget Accenture, u only go to Accenture if u don't have other job,

Oh wow, strong sentiment here. Why is that? And do you think Deloitte is better than ACN? I remember WLB was not too bad at ACN.

T2 clearly 👍 good stuff, glad you‘re having the choice between several good options

Which T2 are you talking about? In terms of comp the boutique seems great, but there are also those well know cons.

I'd take the boutique firm over ACN and Deloitte, but would consider a lot more Oliver/Kearney

How were you laid off as an analyst?

They picked my name out of a hat…. Seriously I dont know.

Unless you KNOW you’re being pulled into a strong strategy group at D, you’ll likely be thrown to the PMO land. If you know you have good work at these boutiques go with them. As someone else said, D and A will always hire you back

I was referred by one of the top dogs so I know I am. But good things to think about.

It’s a hot market right now. If I were you Id try for MBB well. Going back as a consultant to ACN, IF you were happy before could make sense. They will likely match any other offer you get, I’d push for C2.

Tried MBB, specifically McKinsey, didn’t make it past the phone screen. They guy that interviewed me was doing other stuff, I could bearly hear him, it was a nightmare. And I thought I still passed but I had to clarify a million times because he had me on speaker. It was ridiculous.

It’s unlikely S& would bring you in at ~$170k. That’s currently our SA2 salary and requires either an MBA or ~5 YOE internally (I imagine more externally).

If you do get the S& offer, I would take it. Be prepared to grind though. My life at ACN was significantly easier WLB-wise.
