Was offered a role on a government project at Accenture Federal, but HR stopped my candidacy because of covid. Project team had to hire someone internal. I’m wondering if I’ll ever get staffed cont.

Now considering the circumstances. When I asked the recruiter what happened, he said they want to take care of their internal employees on the bench first, which I understand. But my own connection is what got me an interview with the project, not my recruiter/HR/TFS. Is AFS still recruiting for their projects? Or is everything frozen?

As they said, we are taking care of internal people first. I think that’s pretty clear. When the dust settles, and we have more work being sold than people available to staff roles, then we look elsewhere.

I am a Senior Technical Advisor who has been working in the oil field since 2013. I have a bachelor’s in Electronics Engineering Technology and would like to transition into Tech with a good starting salary; preferably at least $150,000. I’m leaning towards getting my PMP and searching for a project management position. I’d like some suggestions for going this route or any other positions that may be a good fit for me based on my resume. Any experienced input would be greatly appreciated!

I heard that internal candidates have much lower salary ranges for promotions / transferring teams. So much so that some people will leave the company a year just to come back to a more competitive offer.

I am in the running for a 2 band level promotion - if / when it gets to salary discussions, should I still try to negotiate? What are peoples thoughts? I would be going from an entry level role for 1 year to a senior role, but I still want a fair compensation compared to other hires.
