From a career standpoint, as a junior, unless you're in the strategy consulting team (with a differentiated pay scale compared to their mgmt consulting arm), you're probably going to be on the same trajectory as a banking tech guy. On average 3 years to 6k, 6 years to 9k monthly gross pay. I understand from an external market perspective, they did a recent consolidation between the 2 units - strategy and mgmt consulting - but apparently their compensation structures are still differentiated.

However, as a partner / MD in ACN's case, it's a good deal because they deal in mega transformation projects. Many juniors want to be in sexy strategy short term 3-month projects, and that's fine because its interesting and market pays relatively well. But as you move up in seniority, partners want more stable revenues with less BD effort and hence prefer to sell large scale long-term transformation projects.

From a market recognition standpoint, ACN's main strength is in digital / tech, not in Strategy. If you want to rank it based on pay, ACN strategy pays 10-20% less than OW / ATK at junior levels, and similar to RB. Any other unit in ACN pays significantly less than all the tier-2s. Prestige ranking is subjective, and very dependent on region, so probably won't lay it all out here.
Also have to note that some banking tech graduate programmes are contract-based, so they are not necessarily the best places to start at, and conversion is not guaranteed.

Strategy Analyst 3 years ago started at 5.6k. Not sure how it is now after the merger. From what I understand from 2nd/3rd level connections, salaries are still differentiated. The 2 units are merged, but there are salary differences based on the sub-unit you are in.

Nope. I meant the merged S & C unit in ACN.

Well u guys will find it hard to believe. But ACN fresh grad strategy analysts start off with 6.5k now.
Next rank in acn strategy is now near 9k.

After the 'merger', management consulting people did not get an increase.

False. S&C merged and everyone is now on the same pay scale. Figures is 4.8k for fresh analyst (accurate on the date of the merger).

Yes it is LOL. I’m talking about base excluding allowance. Besides, tech analysts only have their pay revised a few months back to 4.5k.

My goodness. There is literally no differentiation between consulting and strategy at ACN now. What do you think the rationale was behind combining S and MC to be S&C (as it is known now)?

Started in S&C in May last year (4.8k base).
