No hard and fast rule at Accenture. You should get a decent grace period esp as a new hire.

All depends on the economy and the likelihood you will get staffed in the near future. More than a couple of weeks though for sure.

Factors include bench depth and project availability. Right now, we have a super heavy bench and not a lot of projects, so you should be fine for a while. Knew a guy that rode the bench for 5 months without consequence because the bench was as thicc as Kim K's fake booty

Agree with A3. Also, 2 coworkers of mine knew the exact date they had to get staffed by so sounds like you'll know ahead of time

Would love to get your input on this but how do you guys feel about consulting, especially with a STEM background? I have worked on studies where we make recommendations that anybody with a basic scientific/engineering knowledge will say “yea, no f-ing sh*t. We want to do that too. But it’s impossible to achieve from technical perspective with the money we have. You don’t think we already thought of that?”

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?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
