Consulting

works at Accenture

How are people making 200-300K+ total comp? I’m a tech consultant at Accenture and my TC is around 170K. I feel like I’m always hearing about these super high numbers, so does anyone have any tips on how to get there and what fields command that high of a compensation?

    It's either Tech at FAANG or Consulting at MBB that gets those eye-pooping numbers :-)

    If you look at any F500, anyone who gets their own office would most probably make that

    I mean you’re not far. I went tech consulting/implementation work to the actual software company and started at 170K OTE (base + bonus) and another ~20 in RSUs. 2 years later at about 190K OTE and 30ish per year RSUs for total of 220. About to hit 7 YOE.

    I set up a custom feed of software developer jobs to get a feel for the market and most are close to or above that.

    I mean you’re almost at the bottom of that range with a raise. Once we are in good times again I’d bet you can get firmly into mid 200s just by switching firms for the same role.

    On this app, post-mba consulting is a good way, with most of those total comp numbers being 200k+

    I’m in the same boat… almost 8 YOE but with the same company for the last 4. Making around $220k with RSU’s that are almost done vesting. Trying to figure out how to get to the 300+ range.
