Hmm, mine was only Thursday options (UK).
Allows for 2 days of onboarding before being “released” into the practice available for chargeable work from the Monday

I think it’s office-based. They do group onboarding and if I remember correctly they had things for us to do Weds-Fri. But that was several years ago

I guess not much onboarding is needed? 🤣 I feel like at big 4 you are in trainings for the first 2 weeks.

I just started and it was two weeks orientation/training starting on a Monday

They’re not mine was on a Thursday

2 days new Joyner, 1 day local office hit the ground running on Monday.

Because that’s the day onboarding begins. Wednesday - Friday

Hi Fishes,

I am currently working as an Analyst in HCL Technologies BSERV which is considered as a BPO. I received a promotion to a new job post Sr. Associate-WPC. Is this new position also a part of BPO or does it come under IT or Technical Department? Also currently there is no hike being provided even though the band has changed from 0.3 to 1.1, can I expect a hike once the yearly cycle is completed?

Is Applied Intelligence a good group under S&C? So I got an offer for the Consulting Development Program and I was then offered to be aligned under Applied Intelligence at a slightly higher salary. If I keep my CDP offer I would be able to rotate around projects under different groups, whereas if I take AI offer I’d likely be working exclusively on AI projects. So I’m just wondering if I should take the AI offer or keep my standard CDP offer.

Hey all, first time poster here and still consider myself fairly new to consulting so please be kind. Questions for past/ current Accenture folks: I noticed in some threads that SC level only applies to strategy consulting. Could Product Manager be SC level if I have my MBA or is it not even considered a Strategy role? And do they only consider you an “MBA hire” if it’s top tier MBA? Lastly, I’ve seen quite a big salary range for MBA hires. Anyone care to share the latest? TIA.
