In Reply To: I recently took an analyst poistion paying in the low 50s. I initially thought this was fair, but definitely underestimated the quality of work and abusive work and travel schedule. After reading some posts on here, I also feel like I may have accepted too low of an offer. I had a very technical degree and had a year of work experience before joining, is my compensation acceptable for an analyst in the northeast? I've hoped to stay at least a year, but am considering a much earlier departure date. Any advice? Without the carrot of intending to stay for the long-term, there seems to be little motivation. What is keeping the rest of you from jumping ship?
Message: If you are just out to make the most money, you are probably wasting your time at ACN. ACN has never been known to pay people "top dollar". If you really want to stay at ACN, your best bet is to get an offer from one of our competitors and go back to HR with it. I have heard that they will give you a bump for this sometimes. The only reasons I stick around are for the sense of adventure and my own personal joy of traveling.
