Received an offer from Accenture Strategy (Level 9).

What's an appropriate retention bonus I could try to negotiate into the contract (say, % bonus if still employed at the firm in x years)?

Have no experience with contract negotiations; really appreciate any suggestions!

You won’t be able to do this - I’d try to negotiate signing bonus, there are set bands for the base

They don’t do retention bonus. If you were more senior you could negotiate RSU’s vesting over 3 years. At your level I’d just try for a larger signing bonus that’s your most likely lever.

LOL. Sure thing! Go for it and make sure to get it in writing. Let them know about all that strategery knowledge you have as a L9, that they must retain or else.

Negotiate higher base. HR Can’t negotiate company policy but they can negotiate the salary

Seeing as how Accenture strategy is on a cohort scale, all you can negotiate is the level (ie a third year consultant), and sign on.

Anyone from Accenture able to speak to this? This was my experience when interviewing there

Can’t really negotiate a bonus or base pay, only base that is negotiable if they give you more “credit” for your experiences and allow you to come in at a more experienced level of consultant (ie C2 or 3 instead of C1). Keep in mind if you come at the tail end of the time at level, the faster you have to get promoted (which can be good and bad)

Thanks folks, this is good to know :)

Hot take: everything is negotiable!!! (Small font italics side note, but only if you are in the c-suite)
