Seems like a relaxed culture and the role is very must project management ...not consulting so a bit bland. But at the same time I feel like I might be throwing away all my work of getting promoted and enjoying just riding the wave for a while.

A PM gig ain't worth it IMO so keep riding your wave..

Anyone else ...

What's comp?

Depending on if comp is worthwhile I'd say if you're really passionate about the industry use this role as a chance to get your foot in the door and then hop to a different role in a year or two.

Probably a cut to $100k

I am beyond stuck in my first 1.5 years of my career.

Hello!

I joined Accenture 5 months back as a lateral hire ( Level 11 ) and have been a part of a project since day one.

I am not enjoying my work here, no motivation at all. Dreaded to report to work and having stress and anxiety. My manager is trying to micromanage me as productivity is on the lower side.

Another thing is, I have started to dislike my current tech and no more interested in it.
What are my options here ?
