Accenture MCDP Salary and Experience Questions
Hi! New to WSO so pls be nice to me! I go to what I think people on here refer to as a top public ivy (in California) and I know some people joining the Accenture Management Consulting Development Program straight from undergrad.
One of them is busy showing off to his social media followers that the total first year compensation for an analyst is close to 100k (for the san francisco office with a supposed 85k base???). What kind of consulting work merits this? I'm confused because I interviewed for a strategy role at Deloitte Consulting, and I even know kids who joined Parthenon with a ~90k base so how are kids at accenture management consulting getting this level of first year compensation???
I was told the accenture program does not even involve working with strategy commitments. Do these kids get high salary raises and strong private equity/strategy/corporate development exits? Very very confused - especially because even a bunch of kids from my school who have worked at LEK, bain etc are no working in strategy at startups...
Maybe someone from accenture can speak to compensation for first year undergrad analysts and the experience and work you get. What does second year analyst compensation look like as well? What are the hours and do you actually travel for client work?
Thanks!
Lmao. This just might the stupidest thing I've ever seen.
1.) Nobody calls Cal Berkeley a public ivy, besides the kids who enroll there after getting rejected from Stanford 2.) Although this guy is probably lying about his comp, your post comes off as jealous/insecure/petty
The guys comp is not wrong.. they pay $85K + 10K signing in san fran, but you're in San Fran making 95K so its really not that impressive. Also yes Accenture pays more than Big 4, Big 4 is known to cheap out.
I was just wondering WHY the comp is so high - in the sense that even bain offers 83k or something like that but require to work extensively on several private equity cases and strategy projects. Does accenture MCDP also do this type of work? I was under the impression that accenture strategy does this type of stuff??
its a means of recruiting better talent, and they're succeeding at it also. From what it seems on these threads Accenture's reps gone up even a little. If they pay more and give pretty good perks, youre not going to choose it before like MBB or even Deloitte S/O, but its not a bad place to start.
Like I said I'm new to WSO so I don't know anything about the correct terminology or whatever lol...also just to clarify I'm an international student and I never applied to Stanford. So I think you are just making assumptions...
