AWS Solutions Architect vs Accenture Consultant

Nov 1, 2020 14 Comments

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?
