Would you give up two hours of your life every day for better benefits? I received an offer where the perks are ideal, but my commute would literally double. I’m trying to figure out if getting home an hour later every day is a total dealbreaker or if the peace of mind from the benefits makes it worth it.

One thing I’d calculate is the real cost of the commute. Gas, wear on your car, extra meals out, and your time all add up fast. Sometimes the “better” offer ends up balancing out.

Get off the benefits 😉 then see how it goes.

Any B4 IAM consultants make the move to Accenture? How is the talent experience (employee apps for time & expense, expense/travel policies, well being subsidy, stock options, etc) compared to what you’d find at D or EY? How do you find the quality of projects, and your role as a SC (which I understand is just “Consultant” at Accenture)? Worth making the jump or do you miss B4 life?
