Serious question… i have an offer from EY to be SM and $200k which is roughly 30% more than now as a M. The thing is, I feel this weird belief in ACN whereas EY feels old and outdated. I have this image that ACN is a tech leader and EY is just an accounting firm.

Should I make the jump?

I switched from Deloitte to EY for a 30% pay bump as well. Tbh EYs internal systems are out dated and super annoying and I find that the people I worked with at Deloitte were a lot more technical, but I do enjoy being the most technical on the team and I still get to learn a lot because the clients and projects we have are on the same caliber. Personally I really like my job at EY, is it better than Deloitte? Maybe not? But is it worse? Not at all (if you can look past the bad internal systems) and I get paid a lot more so it was worth it

You may be right (or not) about your view of ACN being a tech leader. I think you are.

But you don't pass up a 30% raise. That would be ridiculous

What's the research say?

The IT focus turns me off from ACN. 🤣

Accenture is on a downhill tbh, it’s not seen as a tech leader anymore.

Hmm this one I’d disagree with, esp post-pandemic.

Accenture is also laying off a lot of staff. Just had a guy come in to a bar I was at last weekend and told me he was told in January he’d be let go in August in favor of offshore resources and he’s been training his replacements ever since 😬😬

Sounds like maybe he was on the staff aug team there? IIRC, ACN has a big staff aug presence at Facebook.

You can make partner 6yrs from now and no one will care about a perception

I’m a lowly consultant but if I made partner tomorrow I can afford the buy in at 250 cash only. Add that the firm would lend against my credit, that’s goes up. Enjoy.

Until recently ey used lotus notes😵‍💫

Have been discussing Neitzsche's Parable of a Madman in my English 10 class. It's super cool how a prominant atheist's message about what you should place your hope/trust in has actually opened the door for tons of discussion about how everyone (atheists and theists) at some point need to grapple with the question: What is the source of your truth and morals? And in this parable, Nietzsche kindof admits/laments that this is a tough question for atheists to answer.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I have a few former classmates and colleagues sweating over lateral interviews. Take a deep breath and relax.

First, doing these interviews does not define you as a person.

Second, take it one day at a time; if they are moving forward, they see something in you.

Third, remember that the people interviewing you are human beings. Connect with them, be personable.
