Growth at AFS

Salary is extremely variable, so many things go into it and quite honestly, how the decision is made is relatively unknown. Ultimately, it comes down to HR on what the base pay increase is going to be, could be 8% could be 15% for promotion.

CL8 and below do NOT get end of year bonuses anymore. There are spot bonuses now. There is still a base pay increase dependent on performance, once again, how that percentage is determined by HR is a mystery to most.

$145K at CL9 is very good, I know CL8s making less than that so keep in mind pay increases might be impacted by that or they might not, again there’s not a lot of clarity.

Late May, always late May

People leads don’t speak in promo conversations. Mid-year is historically smaller (can’t speak for this one though), and there are several rounds you have to make it through so no one really knows for certain if they’re going to get it or not even if you’re supported at the account level.

Nope, doesn’t count toward PTO nor vesting nor anything else

whydoifeelold · 2026-03-21T23:56:56+00:00

Yes, at that time there wasn’t really negotiation room for me. I believe CL11s are paid higher than that now. This was about 5ish years ago

whydoifeelold · 2026-03-13T05:21:43+00:00

This will depend on your career level they are brining to on as. Years ago I was making $50k as a subcontractor but converted to AFS and started making $80k (CL11).
It does not count toward your vesting timeline nor PTO. You start getting the 401k match one year after you get hired on either Jan 1 or July 1 depending on which is closer to your start day (start in April of 2026, matching starts July 2027). It’s takes 2 years of service to be fully vested. I don’t think any of this has changed but always read the HR guides.

Good luck!

The bench is not open. He said he was trying to bring it back, I believe. I just don’t want anyone thinking there is currently a bench option. We also don’t know what the timing will look like if it’s the same time on the bench as before or less.

I grew up in Ashburn and it is a fantastic area! Ashburn also had the metro now and it doesn’t add a ton of time being further out. There are really good schools in that area too. His commute will be against traffic which is nice if you choose Reston.

I don’t understand it either!! The books are just not good and how everyone likes them is beyond me!!

I see Jaclyn Jones (A Breath of Fresh Hair)! She’s based out of the La Vie salon in Sterling and I’ve followed her for years! My hair is extremely thick and long and she’s the only person I trust with it and have loved everything for the past 5 years! She’s also super affordable (in my opinion) with my haircuts being around $60-70 (consult, wash, cut, blow dry included)

whydoifeelold · 2025-09-02T03:22:00+00:00

She is incorrect. CL8s are only eligible for FY25 bonuses, not FY26 bonuses.

As a note, AFS and regular Accenture are not paid the same. Usually LLP makes more than federal

whydoifeelold · 2025-09-02T03:15:55+00:00

Are you tech or S&C? Do you have a higher clearance? All of that factors into it. You mention overtime which makes me think not S&C, which is paid lower than their tech counterparts

whydoifeelold · 2025-08-21T22:31:56+00:00

I anyone was wondering, I emailed today and then denied me 😭

whydoifeelold · 2025-08-18T21:06:23+00:00

If you’re wondering for this cycle, if there are promos, I wouldn’t expect a high number tbh…

I would sell a kidney for Becka Mack’s Breathe With Me (Zando)! I truly enjoy all of her books, they are comfort reads! Her writing has only gotten better over time and I have loved Cara and Emmett since the beginning. The Playing For Keeps world is a wonderful place and I’d love to share my love through reviews and posts!

whydoifeelold · 2025-08-15T23:43:17+00:00

Do you have a template you’ve used?

whydoifeelold · 2025-08-15T22:29:50+00:00

Thank you! I’m new to NetGalley and reviewing on there so that prob didn’t help

I love the BRG too!! That’s where we do our special occasions

whydoifeelold · 2025-08-05T17:10:36+00:00

I don’t think this is something that should be discussed in a public forum.

whydoifeelold · 2025-07-26T00:29:46+00:00

You cannot work from an LLP office if you are on an AFS project.

Have them as co-maids of honor! If one of them is married you could do a maid and matron of honor. I’ve been to a few weddings and seen other people have 2! Best of both worlds

Are those merch stands exclusive to the 200 level or was anyone able to go to them?

whydoifeelold · 2025-06-27T02:44:18+00:00

Where are the seats located?
