Hi there! Can someone give a feedback on the IT Strategy role at Accenture Capability Network? I am from a Tier-1 MBA college with 1 YOE on a similar role, but this would be my first consulting job. Is the work profile too demanding and also how is it from career growth perspective? Your comments would help me a lot! Thanks! Accenture Accenture India

I just joined CG as a Senior Consultant. I was searching for other people in Teams and I can see others with ‘Lead Consultant’ particulary those based on Australia. I am from Philippines and our designation level is usually like assoc consultant, consultant, sr consul then manager. No ‘lead consultant’. Why is that so? Capgemini
I like a girl at work. How do I ask her out?

Has anyone taken the CAIA ? Any tips ?
When I had an exit plan in place…which I put in motion ASAP. Negotiated a very favorable separation agreement for myself; I had a two year contract and walked away after 6 months with 18 months of separation pay.
TL;DR I’m the goat
When everyone else started talking about leaving
When I stopped caring about work and wished weekends were longer.
When I realized waking up on a Monday before work actually gave me anxiety.
When I started dreading going to the office (I am very social, love dressing up and never minded waking up early)

When it got to the point that work was the only thing I thought about and it literally would ruin everyday activities like hanging out with family and friends
Mentor
Also when our CEO started a speech by saying "you are all monkeys, you do as I say"
I never wanted to sleep on Sundays. I would stay up so late before my weekend would end because I was dreading the fact that I had work on Monday. The clock kept ticking and there was nothing that would ever slow it down.
When they kept delaying my promotion
When they gave me a 1.3% raise in 2022 (which was after accounting for heightened inflation)
Sheeeeeeesh
As soon as my shit bonus hit my bank account
10 years too late
When I had high blood pressure , stress and anxiety and feeling crazy
When I had an exit plan after realizing that I wasn’t motivated to get up in the morning to start work because the commute seemed extra long…yet I was WFH and didn’t have regular zoom meetings.
When I was told that I was replaceable
For one of my old jobs, I knew 6 months in. It took me 18 months after that to find the right fit. No regrets since leaving.
I left when I started getting prehypertension, heart palpitations, and depressed (everything started to have no feeling) from the absurd amount of hours I worked.
When the CEO yells at you and you did nothing wrong. He just needed to let his frustration out on someone. I was the unfortunate victim.
I was super stressed out and I was also pregnant at the time. They didn’t care about giving me breaks and would push me to take the next client. I knew then it was time to go.
When cultural and management issues compounded over time. It started with small things, like not getting a competitive raise, being taken off lists for conferences, etc. As things like that continued over time those added up and I realized I was starting to not care about my work or the firm anymore
