Accenture Singapore

Background was in mechanical engineering (FCH, NUS). Graduated in 2018 and worked in Micron for 2 years before joining ACN in 2020 as SA. Must say that the work here is so mind numbingly boring.

Just got an offer from shell as an engineer. Contemplating whether to jump ship again

For strategy roles and consulting roles, they have more stringent hiring process and the numbers hired on a yearly basis for consulting or strategy are consulting very little, way lesser than those technology roles that are being mass hired monthly. So if you aren’t offered a strategy or consulting role when you join Accenture, it means you aren’t qualified for it, let alone say doing an internal transfer from a totally different function. Not putting you down, but this is the facts, that’s to be fair to those who have gone through a tougher hiring process of interviews etc as compared to the mass hire for those business and integration/delivery roles. Even strategy or consulting project specific roles are kept for those consulting analyst-managers or strategy analyst-managers.

So short answer to your question is no.

Hmmmm but in the TAP briefing the roadmap that HR presented says those in consulting pods move on to S&C and those in tech pods move on to Technology leh. No mention of distinctions between titles.

UOL first class can get how much?

You must be a fking miserable beta to actually come on this forum just to be all passive aggressive and lowkey talk trash to others or the company.

If you don't like tech consulting then stfu and go do other things lmao.

Just speak to any of the current consulting hires, the process is different than those mass hired in as technology analyst (business and integration arch or delivery roles).

If it’s just behavioural questions so easy, I should see everyone getting an offer there lmao. Know that we’re speaking as those who are hired this year or well maybe end of last year onwards. Our manager is the MD for strategy and consulting, you expect someone holding this role with vast experience and having interviewed many to give a simple interview? Think again.

Okie how is it different? It was the same during my time (3years ago)

We don’t lump strategy and consulting together lmao, just FYI, now strategy and consulting functions are merged tgt under one DTE. Can’t believe you don’t know this, this combination is already present since 2021.

Goes to show you aren’t even in the company, still expect to give “advice”.

It’s for consulting hires can do strategy roles in projects and strategy hires can do consulting roles in projects. But not for tech or other functions to take on strategy or consulting roles in project.

This is a fact. And no, consulting interviews aren’t just behavioural interviews, think twice before speaking. This is the dumbest sentence I’ve heard or seen thus far.

Consulting wannabe stop being a troll and spreading false news.

To the op, why do you want to do consulting or strategy work? Your interest or the name itself? Do you know what entails as part of consulting or strategy work? You may have a chance trying to go into consulting, but strategy well it’s almost impossible. Even if they headcount and want to bring in people, the first audience to consider would be consulting analysts to managers from the same Strategy and Consulting DTE (strategy and consulting are merged tgt in a dte, not separate as what this troll is saying). You may need to think about the reasons why you want to switch out of technology, especially assuming you have good amount of experience in tech.

Will be happy to discuss more on this, but not with trolls spreading fake news.

Lols just because it’s merged together in a Dte doesn’t mean that you are doing the same thing/holds the same level of prestige. While consulting folks can be placed on strategy projects, strategy peeps will definitely get priority over you cause that’s what they are hired for. Prestige aside, if they are the same, can you explain why the company pays strategy people more than consulting people?

I am not sure whether you’re trying to associate yourself with strategy to feel better about your position (idk and idc?) but I’m really putting things out based on the reality.

I think the Hr didn’t specify clearly. But basically you can know by looking at the talent segment stated in your contract, this one is your job title basically. Not linked to the pods one, cos the pods I also dk how the mix and match, although they say which few are consulting pods, but got a few tech people placed inside too, and also having consulting analysts placed in the tech pods. Not too sure is it pod too many people or they just anyhow place.

But only consulting hires move on to S&C, not based on the pod de. So if you wanna go to S&C, try see if you can get consulting analyst offer or switch, I have heard of cases who managed to switch.

FYI, there’s more management consulting peers from Accenture going into MBB as compared to strategy peers. So this says enough. Just do a simple LinkedIn search, more management consultants or even consulting analyst going to MBB than strategy consultants whatsoever. Not taking into consideration MBA because that’s a different ball game altogether.
