Hi,
I will be joining Accenture's GTC service line in Italy as a C1 on feb 1.
I did not negotiate my salary as I thought these were standard at each level. However after reading some posts here I am starting to worry a little.
What is the salary (range?) for a C1 in the UK?
Even better would be a C1 salary for Italy but I doubt anyone here is from the land of La Bella Vita.
I have a degree in Computer Science from a top school (University of Edinburgh) and 2 years work experience in the world's largest IT company's (hint hint Big Blue) Consulting practice. From May onwards I have been leading a high profile telco project (the youngest Project Leader in the company) which is what got me the visibility for an offer in ACN.
My salary in ACN is EUR 32k GROSS (post-tax, about EUR 21k) that is the same as what I made in the previous company) BUT Consultants in Italy also get a (pre-set) car to the value of about EUR 13k.
Have I been lowballed? I was under the impression there was no lowballing in ACN (stupid me perhaps) and had heard that ACN doesn't consider outside experience that much, thus for 2 years experience I thought (still do) C1 was a good offer. As I previously wrote, I thought salaries were fixed per level.
By the way, I have been told by the recruiter that I'll be considered a September 2005 recruitee so will go to C2 in Sept 2006.
Thanks in advance for your comments.

Hi,
I know qite well ACN Italy as an Analyst. A few points:
1) As long as I know, a C1 in Italy get as much as you + car + mobile (from this year) and a small bouns at the end of year, around 1-2K.
2) You will go to the core consultant school which is in St.Charles, close to Chicago, US
3)In the UK the salry are much higher, than in Italy if you want more money, go to the UK or Ireland (but you want get as much an A1 in ireland makes 29000 euro)
4)Now, ACN Italy is selling a lots of projects, so really looking for people with some experience and hiring a lot. Two years ago the situation was different and ACN Italy was firing people.
5)NOW, because of point 5) there is lot of attention to people and the environment is quite nice.
6)Some companies pay you less than ACN (some others more). Example: a new hire in Oracle consulting practice gets 2K less.
7)Maybe you could have had a couple of K more as sing in bonus.
8) What is GTC?? Is it in the consulting workforce?? Or in sevices?? Or ATS?? In my opinion the consulting workfrce it is the best.
9) You can top up your salary going to "trasferta", (working out of your city)
