Recent joiner but have a gut feeling I’ve joined the wrong area, now that I’ve had time to appreciate the scale, structure and different areas of the firm.

What would you do in my situation? Would love to hear some candid perspectives. Appreciate this may be super sensitive given probation period and not pissing off the MD chain. (I’m an SM if helpful).

Just make money and let Accenture figure it out. Nothing stopping you from being friends of another area.

I would start to make connections in the area that you think you are better suited for. Find out who is the practice lead, introduce yourself, start networking so you can start to get involved in work that is in the area. When people there know you and your work they can say “oh, OP totally makes sense to be in this group. “. If everyone agrees, then you can be transferred. Otherwise, without having those connections, you would have to apply for an open role.

uplifting

Get through your probation first, you would have been hired to fill a hole. After the effort bringing you in, the last thing they need is to have to find a replacement

Is there someone I can pay to do it? Should I just pay the $375 to stay active to avoid this nightmare?
