Would you join Accenture from a boutique consulting firm? Got an offer to go from 80k to 95k plus 15k signing bonus. Working in a cool role for a big tech client and a great team at my current firm and never above 40 hours a week. The role and client project with Accenture sound awesome but I’m worried about WLB.

If you’re early in your career, a name brand can take you pretty far tbh. Top that off with a raise and an immediate cash infusion, seems like a no-brainer.

What do you consider early career?

Been at both types of firms. Benefits, learning and opportunities at Accenture outweigh the boutique. Hours aren’t too crazy a majority of the time. However, just working on a client doesn’t cut it. Need to add value to the firm through plus ones.

What’s your driver? If it’s 35-40 hours, decent salary and a lot of WLB stay boutique.

Yoe? I would ask for more

4 years total, only about 2 that are very relevant to the position. I asked for more but they said that was the highest they could go. They did raise the sign on bonus though

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all.

Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
