Recently received an internal job offer for an L8 role, which is a promotion for me. However, the recruiter mentioned they can’t promote me until June and would only give me a $1k raise now to “put me into the L8 bracket”meaning I’ll be at the bottom of the pay band. Then in June when the new promotion cycle begins they would actually give me the L8 role with a 15-20% raise. Does this sound accurate/truthful or am I being played?

This is accurate that it’s Accenture policy that if you’re offered an internal job at a higher level then you will be offered the role at your current level until a promotion in a future cycle. It’s total BS but unfortunately true.

It’s true and one of the most immoral and reprehensible things Accenture does. Should be illegal.

I mean a small raise followed by a promotion sounds good. I wonder what the politics are about not giving the promo right away? Will you start the new role now or in June?

More work and higher expectations but same pay? That's what I'm reading here
