Recently promoted Deloitte SM in GPS/C&M (TC - approx. $225K for those who care :)). In the market to switch to Healthcare industry at a Director level. Accenture and others are ringing my phone off the hook. Accenture is offering SM level. Does it make sense to give up 10 years worth of network in Deloitte to go to a comparable firm for some raise and start over with no network? Or, should I stick to my original goal of switching over to the industry for a better W/L Balance?

I would skip Accenture and go straight to industry personally. A director in f500 healthcare can likely beat comp as a SM at Accenture

For future reference OP, when you list your TC it should just include your base and bonus, not 401k match, rewards, awards, etc.

401k match can be included if it’s significant. E.g. 1.5% vs 6%. On a 160k salary that’s a difference of over 7k. Just my 2c

I would find an industry job that pays as good or better.

I wouldn’t give up SM at Deloitte for ACN (def not for 161k base). Maybe MD level, but you’re also shooting yourself in the foot bc you have no network will prob be comped on how well you sell deals. Industry is the better way to go. SM at acn is a landing spot though so you don’t have to move up or out, from what I’ve heard. However without a network, it’s gonna be rough.

For reference I know managers coming in at 170k base nowadays. SM from Deloitte should warrant close to 200k base

SM at Accenture is the toughest for an external hire by far. Success rate is really low, given lack of network and simply needing to get the hang of things. Would not recommend coming in with a minimal raise.

Agree. Just left after 3+ years after 20+ in industry. Very difficult to get the right network at Accenture starting at SM. Too much like the hunger games for me.

Agree, I would shoot for an MD level or else it’s just moving from 6 to half a dozen

I have 20+ yoe and MBA. Had a pretty rough time getting into private industry after the MBA, partly because of my public sector background. The only role that I got was a Manager in consulting, while my classmates left for SM and MD roles. But, after 4 years in consulting, and interviewing with other consulting firms, I am still being directed to the Manager role by recruiters. Reason: We hire only at that level. But, my classmates are joining the same firm as MD. Am I underselling my skills?

I have tried countless times to explain this but I end up burnt out, everyone suffers including me. I just left one role bc of it and now this new role, same thing. I’m over it.

The person I’m seeing has been responding to my texts days later (only a recent development) and it’s making me anxious. They have been busy the past two weeks with PhD exams and their last message was them planning when they could see me again (in a really flirty way too), so logically I know the delay is not a sign of disinterest. But I have an anxious attachment style (if that’s not obvious) and my therapist is on leave right now, so I’m struggling. Do any of you have any advice?
