Both also can.
Preferably you should try to join Consulting Workforce, they have significantly better salary and opportunities  |

The difference is that Accenture always has the manpower (resources) to do a SAP project, because they somehow can always recruit a lot of waterfish into the workforce
or maybe they are more willing to take and train fresh grads in SAP.There is also the segregation of roles. Consulting workforce usually gets the higher-end Functional configuration or blueprint/management while Solution workforce does the programming dirty work. |

yeah, since my excolleague had no choice but to work with them so he was kind of disappointed. if i'm not mistaken, he told me that they dont know abotu the business process but talks like they knew (btw, my excolleague is the pioneer group who start the SAP project for the asia region), some is not possible but they said is possible. that is why he was kind of 'kik sum'.......btw, if client talk maybe la but last time even the main SAP talks about ACN does not know what they are doing. below is an article on it....hehe

QUOTE(aabrahim @ Nov 20 2008, 02:54 PM) I used to work for a GLC Telecommunication company (not very hard to guess, right ?) very similar story here. got an offer from a consulting company and from govt as a ptd, both in the same week. When I join there in 2002, the starting salary is RM 2157. Recently, they have increased that to RM 2400. Considering GLC pay packet is at the low side of the industry salary range, in addition to the news that the government starting pay + allowance to be set at RM 2,800, I found it reasonable that fresh graduate at private local companies (especially that of MNCs) can earn RM 3,500++ for starting salary. After working in that GLC company for 6++ years, I have recently joined a Big 4 consulting firm as Senior Consultant. The pay almost more than doubled from my last pay with my previous employer. The pace and work style/environment differs a lot and at times I wonder why I did make the move from the more stable work/life balance and slow paced work environment to this. Don't get me wrong, I am an ambitious lot and I know before-hand what I am into once I resigned from old post. The point is...money is not everything and there are reasons why some ambitious people prefer to stay at one position in one company that pays lower than that of the market. As one of my former boss (who worked in that GLC company) once said....if you're healthy and ambitious, go for the money at other firm....but if you're dying of cancer or need to be with your family all the time, this GLC is the best company for you to work in. As he said "my medical cost due to my chemotherapy runs from RM 20,000 a month at least, but the company is paying for it...no questions asked. If I was not feeling well, it's ok for me to stay at home without medical leave deducted....so what ever people say, this company is the best company I have ever worked with and I have no intention to leave the company, until the day I retire or die...." and he passed away a year after retiring from the company. So the point is, there are many factors why one company is preferred to the other and there are reasons why people choose to stay at one company and that reason doesn't necessarily meant big bucks. guess which one i pick thx for sharing, old man... |

About what you guys say about accenture unable to delivery. There is a running joke about consultancy, it goes like this:
What does a consultant do? Basically they take your watch and tell you the time. |

There is a running joke about consultancy, it goes like this: There's this joke :What does a consultant do? Basically they take your watch and tell you the time. A consultant turns up one day at a farm, and then asks the farmer "if I tell you how many sheep you have, can I have one?". The farmer thinks there's no way he can tell that, so he says "okay". The consultant marshals his forces, studies plans and graphs and pictures, and then tells the farmer "you have 4,760 sheep". The farmer says that's correct, so the consultant leaves. The farmer catches up with him as he's trying to load his prize into the car. He then says "if I tell you what your job is, can I have it back?". The consultant thinks there's no way a simple farmer can tell what his job is, so he says "ok, go ahead." The farmer then says "you're a consultant." The consultant is surprised and asked "how did you know that?" so the farmer says "you came up here uninvited, told me something I already knew, and charged me for it. Can I have my dog back now?"

seen so many times Acc hired junior consultants and sell it as an experienced resource . That is why in the streets said Acc cant deliver. No doubt that they have a few very capable consultants but then again, this is their business model. to buy low ( ie junior consultant ) and sell high ( charge the client as an experience resource )
u will be amazed how much they are charging the client per man day .. and that is why Acc absolutely hates contractors |
