Hi Guys, Need suggestions please. I have around 10 years of experiences in Industry. Currently I am at onshore UK for TCS getting around £46k per annum out of which UK Tax component is very less due to my Indian components included in salary. So I get approx 3.4k per month now and I am on ICT Tier 2 Visa. Now I just got an offer from Accenture UK in Consultant role in level 9 with a £58k per annum base salary+ some additional components. They would also transfer my visa to Skilled Workers visa. But due to the UK tax components my monthly take home will still be around 3.5k, which is almost same as my current TCS salary. Now I am confused and need suggestions. Should I dump a company like TCS just for the sake of Visa with almost same salary? Where TCS also has many benefits like sponsoring of Dependent Visas, Indian Mediclaim for my dependents etc. Which will not be there for Accenture. On the other hand Accenture job might help me to settle in UK and change jobs based on same Visa which is not possible in TCS's ICT Tier 2 Visa. But again I might wait and try a bit more for some better companies with more salaries and better company profile in near future. I am not like a guy who jumps companies more often. I have more or less 5 years of company lifetime in my past companies. Please suggest. #accenture #consultant #tcs #uk #offer #it #interview
Well in consulting Accenture is much better positioned and you might get a better future career.
Try to cite these reasons to Accenture to negotiate a better offer. Accenture seems better from long term perspective.
How does Accenture level works? I had an offer from a slightly smaller firm for a second level consultant (one level up from entry level) which is £56k. With your experience I think you should ask for £65k at least
London? Or outside of London?
London
Feels like low salary.. I am working out a job at Cambridge with a slight better pay but in a dilemma as it feels salary to be low.. just my two cents
Think of cost of living if you were to move. Will the take home $ adequately support the area you wish to live? What other opportunities does this move open for you and your family? Consider short term as well as long term pros and cons. Good luck.
