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? |

Low 50s is very good for an analyst. Many consultants make in the high 50s and low 60s. You should be happy.
Traveling is fun. You get to fly in airplanes and get status. You get to live in hotels and not motel 6. You get to keep your per diem. How many people get to travel in airplanes and not pay for it? How many people get to stay at hotels when they travel? You should feel lucky that you get those things when you have little to no tangible skills.
There is no abusive work schedule when you get to have at least 8 hours of vacation everyday to do whatever you want outside of work. You should really be happy working for Accenture.
