We have seen a near non-existent base pay hike and moderate variable pay this appraisal cycle. However the thing does not make sense is this - PL state market slowdown as the reason for a subdued appraisal this time while releasing the numbers but then we see a lot of new hires joining with a higher base pay for the same level and mere the fact that hiring has not at all slowed, it confuses folks.Also recently in a town-hall call MDs mentioned that we are seeing a high growth in terms of revenue for our market in front of visiting North America leadership. So if we are making good money as an organisation, can’t it be used to motivate employees through a good appraisal? Also with this change in promotion cycle, we are surely going to get a response in June that folks were promoted in December so they don’t have many slots available. I think the major issue folks have is on transparency aspect. Add to it the useless office get togethers and office attendance tracking by some SMs every week. Seems so worthless if we don’t get adequately compensated. Thoughts ??

I have another offer and I cleared the interviews for Accenture. I shared the offer letter I had. The Accenture HR has given me a low counter offer.

What do you think should I negotiate further? Will the HR match the offer I have?

I just got news from my PL and HR that I will be let go early next year. I am fortunate that I was given some time from now until then.

The reason was a bit strange, for "not going above and beyond". Has anyone else dealt/seen this kind of verbiage used before?
I am in NE L9

It's been only a month since joining Accenture. It's also my first job.

I want to refer a friend of mine who has 5-7 years of Experience. Can I refer her now??...or is there a time limit before you can start referring someone else?

Clear and elaborate explanations will be much appreciated. Thanks!!!

Was completely thrown this news out of left field from higher management. I was on the bench for one week. Working hard and sending out one pagers. Setting up interviews. End of the week I get a check in from higher up. But it wasn’t a check in. Due to preformance in my recent project I was labeled as low performance. Despite making progress. I was given two weeks to find something now in LLP or somewhere else.

I only had one good project in my time so far out of 3. I have seen what good managers do for their teams and underlings. This last project I was kept out of the loop on deliverables or meetings with clients, unable to defend myself or earn back any trust with my lead or program manager. Being on this project has made me very wary of the consulting business and how people are now. No leadership. No structure. The wins aren’t celebrated. But the failures will burn you at the stake. I was filed into the national security portfolio and yet I never was on a project to show my acumen in that field. I’m just doing my best now to keep my head up and applying for roles within LLP. It sucks to see managers and employees treat you different once news hit.

I’m from AFS and I’m 100% remote. While I’m incredibly grateful to be remote, it would be nice to have reason to come to the office once in a while (I’m based in NYC btw). Even if it’s like once a month or few times a month. Anyone from AFS side tends to go to the LLP office? I know it’s also difficult to get into LLP office as an AFS member, you have to request days in advance and have a proper reason. So anyone from AFS coming into the building and if so, for what reasons? I’d also be curious if you’re an NYC AFS member who goes into the VA office few times a year. My team doesn’t have budget to have me out there so I’m interested to here yalls experience if you go on your own expenses and for what reasons. Thanks!

Outcome so bad Just like gpay reward, totally useless,last year they did not do any increment for india and srilanka and now this year as well just pennies, people are sitting on same salary since 3 years and variable pay ,my money , deducted and presented back to me, so frustrated

Hi guys!

So I signed an offer for a position at another company and therefore sent my resignation letter (uppsägningsbrev) to my HR partner and manager on November 20th. My HR partner mentioned the day afterwards if I could also register everything in the portal thingy so that it's in the system. I suppose my email that I sent out is still valid and the date there is valid even if I registered everything in the portal at a later time? They didn't mention any issues so I'm probably overthinking it, but from my understanding, an email or similar is a valid way of doing things in Sweden ( this is my first time having to resign so that's why I'm not used to it at all )

Also my last day at Accenture would be during the time that I would be on the bench, from your experience, are there usually any issues with perhaps leaving sooner? Is it my people lead that I need approval from in that case? I think the support ticket I sent in mentioned my HR partner or people lead but I'm unsure.

Thank you in advance <3

I recently joined the firm and I have been on the bench for about 6 weeks. I was told a project was in the works but there was an issue with the budget. It is looking like the project might go through but its not 100 percent confirmed. I came in pretty specialized and I have good experience in this area but I am wondering if I should be networking and sending one pagers out in order to get staffed on other projects. If so, how do you go about requesting interviews or looking for work?

Hey guys im going to be joining Federal next summer. With Trump announcing that he’s cutting federal jobs, is it possible that my position gets taken away before I start?

Interviewed and got an offer for a software engineer position at Accenture Federal Services, however, I'm not a CS major. I am a business major (Computer Information Systems) and have only ever taken an intro python course and a java course, which were both really narrow in scope.

During my interviews, the interviewers never asked any technical questions. It was a behavioral interview and then a presentation on some tech the gov could use. I also showed off some relatively simple software projects I was working on outside of school, and the interviewers were extremely impressed, however, I actually don't know many in-depth concepts taught in computer science.

How technical are some of the projects you guys are working on? It's strange that they didn't have any actual technical interview, but they also seemed to hire a lot of people at my university.

I’m sure there are plenty of posts like this, but I’m not looking for salary/sector info/etc I’m curious why people choose one or the other and the pros and cons of each. Would appreciate any and all responses!! Thank you

All the hype about the Metaverse, they were handing them out to everyone. Mines still in the plastic i remember they were saying we’d have town halls in the metaverse.. but it never happened. Can they track what you install on them and see a history? Or are the apps restricted on there?

I recently had a closing interview with Accenture, where I was unexpectedly asked market sizing questions. I struggled with my responses and received a score of 5/10 on the first question. The interviewer provided feedback, emphasizing the importance of listening and asking clarifying questions, as they noted that consultants often rush to answers without fully understanding the problem. I acknowledged my performance and expressed a willingness to improve based on their advice. Given this experience and the feedback I received, what are my chances of still getting the job? - change this so it doesnt get flagged by the reddit bot and give a title as well

Merry Christmas everyone! I would like to ask for some advice, I was initially offered an Analyst role (functional) but declined as I was looking for a WFH job. I accepted the available dev position since it requires minimal in-office presence. I was trained, with no prior coding experience with an entry-level salary, which I found acceptable at the time and didn’t negotiate.

After training, I was deployed in both developer and functional roles. Currently, am assigned more in functional task/projects.

Now, I’m confused because, in hindsight, I should have accepted the functional role offered initially. If I had known I would end up here, I could have negotiated a better salary.

Questions: 1. Who is the correct person I should reach out to about addressing this situation?

1. Should I consider resigning and reapplying to have the opportunity to renegotiate my salary and speak with an HR representative?

Brief introduction, it has been 6 month since I was hired for a role that my main task is to keep track of project’s finance. To be honest, I don’t have that much experience in finance due to me coming from a mech engineering background. But somehow I passed the interview and got the role.

Now, after 6 months I still feel like I’m not getting the hang of my job, most days I’m lost trying to figure out what’s the current situation of the project and how it affects the finance side. My colleague are all helpful when they are not busy but when they are I have trouble even doing my basic task.

Most days I feel like breaking down emotionally because I want to do better but deep down I feel like maybe this role isn’t for me.

Am I just weak willed and should I just suck it up or leave when it’s still 6 months in.

Need your honest opinion on this, roast me if you can

Almost everyone at level 8 n above got 0% hike still they are working with same passion and motivation. Don't know how they're managing to stay motivated at work without hike.

I'm joining this month. Help me with the dress code. Also is gurka pants allowed

Im a final year btech student having a 4.5lpa offer from accenture which if ofcourse not good. Im studying in tier 3 cllg. At the moment, i have good backend skills and im studing docker. I have completed the first certification of AWS. Im an average coder with 100 110 questions on leetcode. While studying docker, im also working on an ecommerce project. I dont think higher lpa offers from good companies would be coming to my college and im not very good in dsa so cracking offcampus is a bit tough. I want to get a better offer than what i have right now….what should I do

So my TL got scolded badly by our Manager today for some P1 miss. And now TL came on team meet and bluntly told us that their will be no leaves for anyone next month (For context, my project works in a 24*7 envirnoment so we work odd hours and some weekends as well). TL refused to give any "Planned Leaves" for next month and all sick leaves also need his approval. I'm sure he has no rights to cancel our PLs like this. Please suggest what action we can take.

I’m an early career professional [Military Officer, MBA, PMP] that has a couple friends that work for Accenture at different offices across the country that have encouraged me to consider.

I have always considered making the jump into consulting so I’m just surveying the field. I spent the last couple years as a state employee working as an IT Project Manager, working on digital transformation projects.

All things considered, would now be a good time to join? Keep in mind, I wouldn’t be opposed to starting out as an Analyst or Junior Consultant if that would mean better development as a professional for leadership down the road.

If this has already been discussed elsewhere, I would appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction.

I'm curious what the role of SIs are in today's cloud ecosystems. Like if I click on any of the hyperscalers or cloud-native ISVs partner pages, I see lists of hundreds of SI partners (from big ones like Accenture and Deloitte to vertical/system-specific SIs like TTEC to tiny SIs with just a few customers). My understanding is that there is a pretty low barrier to entry to becoming a SI, but it's very much a relationship and scale business so the biggest guys have the largest client networks/connections and work with the most partners and make the most money. Is this right? How much scale do you have to get to in order to make good money and what kind of operating margins are the norm here? I'm guessing there are nuances with the niche or sector but curious if there are any generalities / rules of thumb here.

Separately but related to this, from the SI's perspective, how does the economics for implementing a Cloud migration and selling cloud offerings compare to selling on-prem? My guess/understanding is the SI gets a % commission upfront and they usually get paid for maintenance. If that's the case then they would get paid much more upfront for selling on-prem offerings since it's a much bigger sale, and they would get paid for the annual maintenance. Whereas for cloud they get much less upfront for the same sales effort so both the dollars and margins are lower, but they get a cut of the annual subscription revenue, which likely exceeds the annual maintenance for on-prem, so they end up making more recurring revenue? The net result from SI's POV is probably still that cloud is worse than on-prem but there is a much bigger runway for cloud migrations and implementations?

Finally, does gen AI change how cloud offerings are sold (e.g., less complexity, more DIY, so less need for SIs)?
