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

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...

Need advice. Currently at $142k base. 3 years and 1 month left before I max out of H1b. Just got my PWD issued through current employer though their immediate reaction is subtly letting me know they’re not in a hurry to start recruitment. Got an offer today for $160k base. Similar role, both are good teams, etc. Do I politely decline and see my GC process through or accept and get more money? Feel like current employer will drag their feet as long as they can for retention purposes.

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
