Thoughts on insurance specialization? Gotta align soon, and seems highest growth and availability of "strategy" projects are in this field. Not particularly interested, but people are great.

I have also noticed that insurance seems to draw a very high percentage of pure strategy projects, and the people at PwC and S& who did insurance are wonderful folks in my experience. My question is whether or not you like insurance. If you want to be a manager or above someday, then I would ask myself how much I would enjoy working on insurance projects at 1 am on Tuesday night.

If you want to leave Accenture, then I would think about how much you want to be in insurance. At the junior level, exits are determined by intrinsic capability, personal performance, firm brand, and general exposure to different issues. For managers and above, industry exposure matters more.

In short, really depends on your exit plan and what you enjoy out of the job. I think everything else is secondary.

If your plan is b-school, go to insurance. Follow people you like because it's easy to switch after MBA. If you're planning to stay at ACN for a while I'd take a hard look at whether you really like insurance.

Hi everybody,

Looking for some insight/curious to hear how others would handle this situation:

I have an offer I want to accept; I was trying to negotiate for a signing bonus… but they’re not budging.

The issue is, the start date is in a month and I’m up for a promotion in a week at my current company. I would like to leave before I get promoted, I think it would be pretty low of me to accept and promptly quit.

Not the new employer’s problem? Or can/should I try to leverage this?
