latest fresh grad range is 3.7k

owhmagod, 3.7k! so lucky la, i envy those fresh grads

wah fresh grad drop to 3.7 liao a? i thought it was arond 4.2-4.5 previosely.

1 out of 100 fresh grad in ACN (Accenture) will 'probably' get 3.5K, while the rest will slog like dogs and buffalos and donkeys with the hope that they will be promoted to Senior Analysts. Most , if not all, hiring managers in MNCs are trained to 'sell' the companies during interviews and roadshows. So don't get too carried away with how much you are going to get as a fresh grad. Just work hard and SMART and talk about money when you have the bullets after a few years.

hi, I am interested with the finance analyst post offered by accenture...

may i know how much would they pay for that post for a fresh grad?
how much the year increment for salary??
what the benefits and bonus??

Thanks a lot!!

seriously, i think ur passion is more on monetary instead of job satisfaction. i can tell you that acn will disappoint you. if i'm not mistaken, this is an outsourcing.....jus to tell u tat the great ppl are left because of management (politics and scapegoats) and current ones are planning to leave. politics and no team work is killing the whole team.........

another one, my ex colleague in singapore is dealing with the acn sap team. and his comment...."totally bs, talk nothing but bs". good consultant could be anywhere and that does not mean u can be a good one if u joined acn.

Some basic caveats to consider:

1. The increment is based on your annual performance review. You are compared with all the people at the same level as you, and only very small number get promoted and pay increase. If your group level happen to have a lot of geng people this year, it is very difficult to get better pay.

2. There is also a randomness in role assignment. The HR may arbitrarily assign you to projects that are not in your career path, diluting your resume power and hot skill eligibility.

3. There is a gap between Accenture divisions. Consulting Workforce fares a lot better than Solutions Workforce, probably due to Solutions' role as a low cost provider of system integration services. Please clarify which division you will be assigned.

4. Experienced hire for Solutions may be offered a salary which includes Hot Skills Bonus, making the offer LOOK more attractive. This is false marketing as the bonus eligibility is strict, potentially leaving you with a lower base salary on a slow year.

i heard fresh grad can get RM5K at accenture. issit true?

wow.. the figure is getting higher and higher and now...5K bwahahahahahahaha. Even though i left ACN ages ago... but i doubt that fresh grads are averaging at 5K a month right now at acn. A bit too high for Malaysia

Unless you get sent to an overseas project immediately.

yup you are right..i worked with accenture 5 years ago with RM2500 as starting pay..but they sent me to singapore,thailand and philliphine for oversea projects and i almost got RM3K allowance per trips , it is very low i thought

about the claims of fresh grads earning 140k per year. i know it may sound really ridiculous but do understand that only a very selected few get to dream of such remuneration. a family friend of mine, grad from Uni of Melb in accounting and finance on a JPA scholarship, got headhunted for an IB in singapore and his starting pay was SGD10k per month.

so these cases, however rare, do exist. do take note that this guy is an outstanding student (thus the scholarship) and he was pres of the msian society as well. so please don't go around accusing ppl of lying.

I'm sure your friend is good but I think they were talking about RM140k per year in Malaysia.

That's not a lot for investment banking.

you r right, my fwen stationed in dubai received RM40K per month but it is in oil n gas company

How ignorant r u imax80? I just saw your posts in first page then come to this. u urself worked in acn b4, but u nvr bother to make research on that company? referring to ur first post, of course it's possible to get more than RM3k if you join in the consulting workforce. n for ur 2nd post, no. only a select few of companies will give more than RM5k for fresh grad. n acn isn't one of it. u should've known since u worked there before.

lol @ imax

last year i was told by fresh graduates from accenture that a fresh consultant is paid rm 3200, dropped from rm3500 previously...

Depends on the workforce the fresh grad enters.

It was between 3.2k to 3.7k

hey guys.. applied for the accenture graduate program... may i know how long they normally take to call for interview?? cuz already applied for a week plus still no getting any call... lol... thanks a lot...
