Sm is a difficult entry point because you’ll be expected to know how the business runs, have contacts and grow your space, and run teams in a stressful environment. If you take it, best of luck to you.

Absolutely not. It’s not a competition at Accenture, which I do love. I’ve seen too many people fail internally at this level and experienced hire struggles.

First-year SM is $215k. Can't say I have any issues with culture, the only gripe is that we're underpaid compared to other strategy firms. Lots of attrition at the M level in particular right now, primarily due to salary, hot job market, and the fact that the job changes a lot at SM and it's not for everyone.

You spend a lot more time on sales and while still spending the same amount of time on execution. Sales isn't for everyone, and even if it is, you're still working a ton more hours with significantly more stress.

Options considering:
1/ Continue current path, stack more deal experience, strong chance of Director promo in 3-6 months
2/ Don’t wait, just jump or apply to other roles
3/ Study and go back to grab MBA (considering MIT or Stanford MSX - 1 YR)

TC: 175K (…low)

Regarding AI, I find this field fascinating but I feel like it requires a lot of experience, degrees and diplomas.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…

I suspect this was due to the fact that I did not counter offer when I accepted this role, which was a few months ago, and now I regret it.

Going from $61 per paycheck for 2.5k deductible 75% copay to $500+ per paycheck with 500 deductible 85% copay.
