Accenture - better tech brand and if the pay is better it’s a no brainer

Once you are done weighing the job factors... and still on the fence about $$s, consider that BCG benefits might close the $40k difference e.g. healthcare- could run $20k+ if you have a family... and the retirement contribution is 5-10% of salary+bonus (regardless of if you contribute or not) + other perks (not sure what Accenture offers but pre-covid BCG is top of range).. My 2 cent s

Thats a great perspective as well

Depends on your future goals.

But without knowing, BCG GAMMA exit opps are better.

Lol I know people in both roles and surprised that the Accenture role pay better than us. Is this the Accenture AI lab in SF? Compared to the baseline DS at Gamma?

Definitely go for the role at Accenture!

Accenture is well respected in the tech space so exit opps to high profile Tech companies are likely better.

What’s the BCG vs Accenture trajectory like?

At $120 at BCG, sounds like you’re starting below a C level, senior A? Once you make C the next year, comp is $165 base plus a bonus on top of that, so you’ll likely outpace Accenture fairly quickly plus get the name brand.

No guarantee but if you believe in your own competencies... but you’re right if OP doesn’t think they’re good enough for BCG they should take Accenture! 😜

Jokes aside, if this is NAMR business is booming and Gamma has been constantly oversold in the past few years. They need people. Unless you really s***, I’d say your chances of getting involuntarily transitioned are pretty low...

However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
