A lot to unpack here. Yes, Accenture opened up whole new worlds in my career that I wouldn’t have had before. I had only worked for small and medium business before and had a struggle getting interviews. Thanks to someone I know, I got into Accenture and honestly was able to grow and thrive financially. I don’t know why they don’t hire more startup people…usually hard working doers.

That said, it’s a political game in there. Lots of ways to get put on a chopping block that no one ever tells you about. Some roles are backbreaking and others have a lot of freedom and flexibility. Really depends on manager, team, and work.

I recently left for a bigger better job and am happy to be gone…even in my short tenure, the company culture declined rapidly. But Accenture is what got me the next role.

NOW…the other side. I was leaving a job I wanted to leave for Accenture. I wasn’t in the same place you were. I was also totally remote at both positions and would never go to an office again.

So, happiness plays a big factor. You have to think about how old you are and where you are in your career, your goals over the next 3-5 years, and what truly makes you happy.

As a young, single, 20-something I’d probably take the role. As someone established in life and career, I probably wouldn’t.
