What are your book recommendations?
I went through many rounds of interviews at Accenture and then received an offer which I accepted. After I received notice that my background check had cleared I contacted the recruiter to ask when I would receive my start date and they came back with a request that I meet with someone else. Is this normal?

You’ll probably need to take a pay cut but if you find a role with upwards mobility and crush it the pay cut can be short lived. If you’re feeling this way you should just do it.
The grass is always greener everywhere you look, except for where you are. Then you move somewhere new, and the grass isn’t green there either
2021/2022 was the last clean window we had - Not sure if an opportunity like that is going to come up again
Yeah, there is definitely a sweet spot where after that it becomes hard to leave
that sounds right
We’ve had a few that did the industry trip and then came back. Maybe worth an excursion :)
With AP, the pay is somewhat like golden handcuffs. Even some of our competitors (Kearney, OW, and SK) do not pay close to what we get at the Director level (personal experience and our post bonus surveys) . So even a move to them could mean taking a pay cut.
The only real alternatives are a very senior industry role at a public company, where equity can make the overall package attractive, or PE roles at top-tier firms with very strong bonus/carry potential.
In those roles, you may also get more leverage and support from junior team members for work , along with more opportunity to operationalize because the average billing rate is lower when junior resources are part of the mix.
Again, it really depends on what you aspire to and what you need. I also know people who came back from PE because they found this place was paying more than what they were getting there.
I have found none of these things to be true
Alix doesn’t have up or out. What’s the issue?
Doesn’t always have to boil down to up or out. Sometimes it’s fulfillments on many other fronts, quality of work, time balance, etc.

I’m feeling an imperative to leave asap or I’ll be in consulting forever
