MBB to ACN Strategy - Thoughts?

Hello!

Sorry to hear about the situation. On the other hand, congrats of being one of the two survivors!

Honestly, I do agree with the opinion that seems kind of a downgrade from MBB. Is this office in the same region? Because then I don´t see either how different can the circumpstances be.

Another option that you don´t mention is a transfer to another MBB or even inside your MBB to another locaiton, have your considered that? Sames goes for getting international staffing -I know for instance in the US there are hands needed atm-.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about the issue with your current company.

On Accenture: if you are not convinced about the brand, before moving there you may also try:

• Other MBB
• Tier 2 (OW, Kearney, S&, RB)

On Accenture vs Tech: it really depends on what you would like to do 5-10 years from now. If you want to target partnership in consulting, Accenture could still be interesting. If you want a more entrepreneurial culture and move to tech, this could be a nice moment for a transition.

Hope this helps,

Francesco

Sorry to hear about the promotion that is tough.

I am also surprised to hear about the work because in the US offices they are desperate to get more staffing currently.

Here is my honest opinion

• If you want a good exit option and are able to then stick to MBB - the brand name carries weight and you will be able to leverage it accordingly
• If you are truly unhappy and can't bear the thought of one more day at the company then quit. There is no point carrying on in a role that makes you sad. Life will always work out in the end and there are so many possibilities as to where your career may take you
• A third option is to transfer out - like I said, in the US they are truly understaffed so if you can I would encourage you to transfer here to get staffed on projects

Best,

Hi there,

My honest advice is to take this ACN Strategy offer.

It's a brand downgrade, but it's also a promotion...which it what you need/want...which is not a downgrade. I think this is a fantastic offer to not be taken lightly.

Now, if you had time to search for other options, I'd say do that, but clearly this MBB up-or-out has caught you off-gaurd a bit.

Work at ACN Strategy, and, in the meantime, search for the other opportunities! No harm in taking the role for now, but jumping ship if it's not great and/or you get an offer from a firm you prefer.

Hi,

I have provided a lot of information previously on Accenture in the Q&A forum. Check out this and embedded threads for the information you need:

• https://www.preplounge.com/en/consulting-forum/ey-parthenon-vs-accenture-9952
• https://www.preplounge.com/en/consulting-forum/accenture-strategy-consulting-9886

Its not a downgrade by any means and Accenture is beating even MBB in key markets, geographies and capabilities. All information is in the threads above.

All the best.
