Nope, always easy. Just give ample notice and do the work as you’re going out. Don’t burn the bridge and you’ll be fine

Dude, take the job. This is a no-brainer. If you’re worried about being seen as a job-hopper: 1) this wont be an issue until you look for the next job, which could be years away; 2) just take accenture off your resume; 3) if it does come up, just answer with, “while I really liked the work at Accenture, this opportunity was my dream job and offered considerable responsibility that I wouldn’t have gotten for years in my analyst role.” Done. Don’t say more

I tried but they’re hard set on it, also if you want to know (accenture peeps would understand, I️m in CDO) so casually underpaid with not much bonus increase and trajectory in careeer anytime soon

like

CDO is short for “Client Delivery & Operations,” which is seen by accenture as less competitive from a personnel standpoint. This means the pay bands are lower, the benefits are not as good, etc. The alternative would be “Client & Market,” which is where more traditional consulting folks would sit. Oftentimes accenture will move entire groups to CDO with the knowledge that some of them will transfer back with MD sponsorship, whereas others will leave. This is their way of “fixing the glitch.” OP has an awesome opportunity and should GTFO.

Leave. U are at the start of ur career and I promise you will leave Accenture in the future anyway. Take the chance if ur interested and try. U can fail, ur early enough in ur career to bounce back. Good luck!

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?

Any firms have a focus on Aerospace and Defense industries? Headhunters always reach out about tech and healthcare firms (as well as more generalist ones), which are great but I’m just not that interested. Only find a few with significant A&D exposure.
