I know both have poor WLB reputation.. but which one is less recommended? Culture/ working hr/ career growth/ resume... I've never changed jobs and hope to make some up-moves on my career. I really like both positions. The TCs are similar about $190. ---------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE: Really appreciate everyone's inputs, invaluable to me! I'm now leaning more towards Accenture.. Here's what I gathered from here and research. Welcome discussions, I can continue update. Amazon: Pros: - Good on resume, faang - Great opportunity to quickly learn all process in SC and build on SME - Huge org, risk to not find a fit group is low - Exciting innovations, can have wide experience - Almost no pip in Pgm Cons: - Initial package is very important, as once you are in, you can only change teams within the same level. This will have minimal change on your salary. You will also not get more stocks - Promotion can only happen in same team, so purely depend on your boss. If your boss leaves in the middle, you need to start over. To L7/ L8 is genuinely not easy - Reorg every yr after peak, people all have had many bosses - No PTOs or even weekends during peak (Primeday and Nov/ Dec), 50% time need to work over time To me: - I'm a TL in my current role, this role is IC, not sure if I have the luck to get to TL or even promote to L7 - Need to relo to Bellevue, high col - Package is very close to $190k, not high, only 25 RSUs - I'm a female with growing family, not sure I can work day and night as IC Accenture: Pros: - Training and accelerated application of skills, wide knowledge and experience of industries - Consulting experience on resume - Mgr role as recruiting consultants and manage project - Promotion is possible and pay increase is higher Cons: - Consulting work nature, need to be able to sell even if you are not convinced - Strategic networking/ being purposful is key, on people and projects - Got switched from Strategy to Consulting branch, projects can be boring, not forward enough towards innovation (learning & excitement) - Travel intensive - Job security and bonus rely on overall economy To me: - Continue leading teams, might better WLB - Management and customer facing soft skills build on top of my 9yr SME background. I feel I'm currently weak in this area - Seems now all contracts are remote not travel required since Covid, customer office not fully open or just doesn't want to pay travel - No need to relo - $190k for Midwest is good ---------------------------------------------------------- Current TC: $138 Yoe: 9 WLB: 12/10 lol #amazon #accenture
As Tesla recommended, take Amazon. The name alone will help you and make it well worth the hustle. Also, I would assume the TC is much higher for AMZN than ACN. Get paid more while you suffer regardless.
Hi, thank you. Do you know how mich would a L7 make in accenture? Is it constant travel?Unfortunately I didnt get much more from Amazon…
Are we supposed to vote on what you SHOULD NOT accept ?
Apologies. It’s which one should take? Like the title asked
Take Amazon.
Not a tech job, looking at the TC. Amazon: it depends on the team. In Seattle area you can transfer easily to other teams until you find the right match. Accept the offer, start talking with people. In 3 months you will know if it works for you and you will know several teams to transfer to, if needed.
Great advice, thank you. The team is last mile routing SME… do you know anything about that?
Which Accenture unit?
Hi, Strategy and consulting.
Amazon would probably be a better opportunity in that case… the Midwest Interactive unit at Accenture has pretty cool projects/clients that use cutting edge tech which is why I ask, but strategy is iffy from the projects I’ve seen — feel free to message if you have Qs about Accenture
Is this a joke?
Did I just read a comparison of Accenture with Amazon?
Accenture
Take amazon any day.. Like everyone mentioned for the resume boost as well as the overall package.. Accenture isn’t anywhere close to Amazon wrt overall CTC
Hi, what is CTC? Total compensation?
Correct
Take Amazon for the resume boost alone. If you're going to sweat, at least improve your exit opps. The TC for Amazon is very less though-- 190k in Midwest will get you much further.
