Annual raise. Typically prorated. 5 mths work, increment 2.5% means your annual increment would be about 6%.

anyone here from ACN could help to check below role is belonging to which department, TC or system integration or outsourcing?

Anyone know if it is possible to get a consultant role with 3 years experience in a technical role?

Also, does ACN reimburse cpf for non-prs?

Hey all, I was given a verbal offer during the closing interview, and was told to wait for a formal offer from HR. Anyone knows how long the offer approval will take?

Furthermore, will the salary be negotiable for a fresh grad?

What kind of internships would help break into Accenture Strategy?

Nah MBB starting isn't that high unless you're in the US lol

McKinsey is 5.6k
Bain and BCG are around there too (can't rmb exactly).

Strategy& (Pwc) actually has the highest starting entry level pay for consulting in sg actually but they work like mad there.

Accenture actually has a division that competes with MBB on some projects: Accenture Strategy (NOT to be consumed with management consulting) that pays over 5k starting

Management consulting is out of fashion in the past 3 years in sg, nowadays the highest starting pay tends to be in software programming. A lot of fintech and IT startups are offering 6-7k starting salaries plus cash/options/share bonuses worth 9-12 months salary.

Hi guys, i have went through all the interviews with accenture(digital,1-1 with senior manager, and closing interview with MD). I was offered a 1year contract employment and was asked if i am open for it. The position i was applying for was Software Engineering Analyst. So my question is what is the difference between a contract employment and a perm position in Accenture?

I think that's the nature of the job market nowadays. The company offers you a 1 year contract such that if they feel you are under-performing then there is no obligation from them to absorb you as FT staff. You need to work hard and prove your worth within that 1 year.

I recently went for a software job interview advertised as a 3-month contract thinking that the company only needed temp staff for 3 months. Turned out they actually wanted a minimum 1 year commitment...

Think of the contract like a pre-nuptial in a marriage.
