Why not?

If you play up you tech skills, they will align you to technology (you don’t want to be here). Advice is to play up you industry knowledge and show strength in one application so that you can do functional consulting.

Why not technology?

Accenture cannot guarantee you to be staffed as PM on a project. If PM is what you’re looking for, try to apply to start ups
