So I have signed a new job outside Accenture with 45% salary increase and great development opportunities. With this weird 2 months notice, wondering what is the best time to resign? Like straight away or wait until the last day possible? Also what will happen after that, will they let me go or keep me on the project until the last day? Thanks for your experiences Accenture

I have just been through this.

First question is, do you have any intention in staying? If not I would hand in your notice before speaking to anyone so they don’t put endless calls in trying to convince you to stay (these were extremely awkward)

They want to understand your reasons for leaving and if there’s things they can do non-pay relayed ie different projects

Not sure if this is helpful, but if you’re expecting a bonus in November but we’re going to quit first, you could take Future Leave. Unpaid leave but it doesn’t affect comp at all. You need to give 2mo notice typically if staffed, but sounds like they make exceptions. You could stop working, but keep the job long enough for the bonus vs quitting first

2 month notice? What region?

Yes so I am expecting a bonus as my people lead said this. Well I would quit for 30.11, so meaning the bonus would be paid with the last salary in November?
Unpaid leave sounds good but what about paid leave? I heard from some colleagues that they were taken off projects and basically chilled for 2 months with full pay

Just go - they will not send legal after you - not worth it!

I left Accenture a couple weeks ago and was on client calls and commenting on deliverables down to my last day! Once you fill in the HR form, the clocks starts ticking and your IT gets restricted. Take your documents etc before giving notice. Your MD would probably schedule a call to find out why, be honest. The HR form also has some options to indicate why you're leaving. If you select something related to pay or promotions I suspect they'll try to convince you as its within their realm of control.

I cleared technical round and during final call with HR, my salary expectations were higher as per HR.

My current CTC is 9lpa, skill-IAM and Java, YOE-3. I asked for 14lpa, best they could give was 11lpa. I know I asked a lot.

She didn't care to negotiate and cut my call and now they put my candidature on hold. Can I expect call back? Or i can consider myself rejected?
