Please don’t jump around purely for money - you’re literally never going to be happy if you think money is the only important aspect of a job. There is always going to be someone who makes more than you or some job that pays better, but your life is not going to get better chasing that if there really is nothing else about the work you care about.
Also this isn’t me just preaching - my answer to your post is that if there truly is nothing other than money that interests you about working at X company you shouldn’t be applying in the first place.

I would very much disagree with that ☺️

I told one of the recruiters I am looking for more money .. they are not stupid to figure out why you want to jump if you are asking for more

No they know what the market is and if you have done your research you can call them out on it. I

You probably actually do have reasons but they're not frint of mind.

For example, why would you prefer Accenture (and that specific practice at Accenture) over KPMG? Or, why would you prefer Accenture over GE?

I think these through and you'll come up with a couple decent sound bites.
