Currently, I'm an Accenture analyst and I'll be promoted to Consultant in January to work focusing on Machine Learning and Computer Vision (smth that I really like). But I received an offer to become a solutions architect after 6m training at AWS ( Tech U program) The salary of both are equivalent, money is not the problem. I'm wondering what is better in terms of career and learning. At Accenture, the job is interesting but is more focused on PoCs and the team level is pretty low in comparison to what I expect to find at AWS. So I believe that I could learn a lot and set a new level in my career. However, I've good opportunities to grow at Accenture, but I believe that an exit could be hard. I'll not be as good as expected for my career level (Accenture doesn't go deep in tech, is just consulting and PPTs). In the next 3 years, I'd like to start managing teams and I believe that to be a good manager it is important to know well all aspects of business and implementation. I believe that I would learn this at amazon, but according to my searches, the career progression at AWS is not as fast as Accenture and I'm afraid to be stuck at the same level for years. Any opinions on that? #aws #accenture #careeradvice
Does your Accenture job require travel? What about the SA job?
AWS pay matches Accenture? Seems like a low ball from Amazon. Anyway, consulting jobs can open you up to learning a wide range of tech/products. However, being an expert in AWS is likely good move for the foreseable future. Amazon looks good on a resume if you want to get in other tech companies. However, blind says Amazon is terrible to work for in some groups. Toss up for me. I lean Amazon.
Thanks for your view:)
I'll finished my BsC in Electrical engineering/ computer science this month. I started as an analyst at Accenture a year ago and I'm going to be promoted to consultant in January. I've a great visibility with the leadership of the company and they really like my job
Thanks a lot!! It makes a lot of sense. I'm insecure about the change because I'm doing great at accenture, but I completely agree with you
Is this even a real question?
Go to Amazon.
Go to AWS, trust me I’m in Accenture too you won’t learn shit here
Ex Accenture here - come to Amazon. Negotiate for a better offer
If you think you have good opportunities to grow in Accenture, stay in Accenture. Do you know the level for your Amazon SA offer?
I guess is the lowest SA level, because it is the position I'll get after the tech u program
