That’s pretty good. I have 17 yoe and only get $170k. My buddy in Accenture has 20 yoe and only got paid $150k. We both are top performer. I got $30k bonus, but salary is super low.

funny

They obviously are not.

What level at Accenture? L10 or L9?

City?

You can’t negotiate salary because there’s a fixed band in strategy, but you can negotiate which level within consultant you come in at - for example a C1 has a fixed band at a specific salary but a C3/4 has a fixed band at a higher salary. Keep in mind though that coming in at a higher level will require you to get promoted in a shorter timeline and depending YOE they might not let you do it as well

Just negotiate for a signing bonus

No, you can’t negotiate, unless you can convince them to round your 3.5 up to 4 instead of down to 3.

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

I’ve done some soul searching of late and established I’d love to be offered a FTE role in my current company. I think this is partly due to never having had a full time job which I’ve enjoyed and which have valued my contributions. I think this is due to wanting to feel accepted. I know acceptance needs to start with me etc but I think redundancy and workplace gaslighting has meant I’ve never achieved growth and status in one company where I can truly grow. Anyone else has this?

Hi everyone!

This post is specifically geared towards those of you who have worked in BOTH the corporate and small (startups) company environment.

Here is my situation: I’ve worked in different startups here and there accumulatively 3 years now. While I enjoyed my coworkers and how my employers treat the staff, as well as the wide range projects I get to be involved in, I feel like I’m stuck in a sense that I’m not learning and growing at the speed and depth I would like. (TBC)
