I worked as a design engineer for a major utility than joined AC's Utility Practice. I got shoved into the old Customer One offering for a while and that was it for engineering. Concerning the P.E. Accenture wont pay for it, and they dont want you to get it because of the associated liability. After 5 years you could go back to engineering, but it would be at an entry level position because you wont be doing anything close to engineering while here. Also though, in most companies after 5-7 years you are expected to move into a management position of some sort. It's not an easy decision, so decide whats important to you, if you want to travel and see some of the US, join Accenture, if you want to be an engineer, choose something different! |

Basically, the previous post is right.
If you want to work as an engineer (civil, chemical, mechanical, industrial, electrical, etc.), then get a job in engineering. You obviously got a lot of interest, since u got a Masters.
If you want to work as an IT analyst or work in strategy (graduated from Ivy league school), then join accenture. Accenture won't care that you have a masters and you 'might' start out with 6 months experience due to your advanced degree, but nothing much.
So, you need to make a decision. what is it that you enjoy? that should answer your question.
