Slalom recruiter told me they are waiting to give offers until Q2...are they just bs’ing me or is this something that could realistically be the case? I’ve completed my final interview already.

I’d say it isn’t total Bs, maybe partially. They can five offers whenever, but GMs or MDs sign off on those offers. What’s most likely happened is that the pipeline has dried up and they don’t have a place to staff you and don’t want to bring you on just to put you on the bench.

Good luck. I’d reach back out and force the issue a little bit. If you’ve got another offer, that’ll help, might spur them into action

They’re notorious for taking months to make an offer. My entire interview to offer process was October through January. Most likely a pipeline issue, as some else said.

We’re just pacing ourselves. Candidate demand is high, and we keep a pipeline of offer-ready and start-ready candidates that fold into the mix with the next project. It doesn’t mean sales are slow when you wait months, most of the time it means you’re one of several eligible hires and who are still being matched to projects as they come. My process took 6 months, and 2 people on my team took about 4 weeks each. It really varies. Q1 is generally slow....

I spent a good portion of the summer going to recruitment process only to be told that they wouldn’t be make an offer until till after Q2.

I haven’t pursued and they have reached back out. I don’t know quite what to make of it but I wish you all the best in your endeavors

Waiting for projects.

I use to work there. Sounds about right. Q1 is their slowest time, plus it’s typical to go through a long drawn out interview process.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

What would u do? 3 YOE HCOL city and I have 2 potential options:
1) move to a boutique healthcare strategy consulting firm in a similar role as I have now (client facing consulting role).. 120-130 base + 20% bonus
2) a product specialist role at Meta (FB). This told role product management, it’s analytics heavy. $107k base, 10% bonus, $30K stock.

At the end of the day, TC for both is similar. As far as exit opportunities I’m not sure what is better, so looking to get other people’s opinions.

Here is the TLDR LEK doesn’t suck post.

IMHO, our stint in consulting’s purpose is to develop a corporate strategy skillset. Doing CDDs is one of if not the best way to get a ton of reps and variety in our 18 - 24 month tenure.

With options among MBB, T2 incl S&, EYP, and general Big 4 / ACN MC:

- Take MBB (can ask for CDD, overall better comp package)
- Reject B4 MC (won’t get it here)
- T2 (pick other T2s if you want way more strategy projects that aren’t CDD / growth strategy)
