Trying to jump to strategy consulting. 3-5 YoE in oil & gas, no MBA. Currently interviewing for a consultant role at Accenture Strategy. Will I be able to get to SC/M and get the bump without an MBA?

SC only exists for those with an MBA, so you would go straight from C to M. This is to help justify the pay difference. The good news is that once you make M, everyone gets paid the same.

like

At C1 you have 4 years to make M. If you're really good you can get it in 3, if you're one of the best you can get it in 2.

like

Strategy is 100% up or out, if you don’t hit M in 4 years you’ll be counseled out.

Like others said SC is exclusively for MBA hires in strat.

like

Absolutely have. Plus I feel like many of the people who leave on their own saw the writing on the wall and got out before they were forced.

Can’t speak to Accenture but at PwC and KPMG non-mba peers make significantly less, at the same title (e.g same title, same duties, 30K less).

Except OP is talking about strategy. At s& mbas and non mbas pretty much make the same

Thanks for all the responses! What do the raises look like from C1 through C4?

170>180>190 for M1-M3

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing.

Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.
