Few years of experience in a specific domain, basically the same domain as the position in ACN ... I have actually rejected the initial offer, so currently in negotiation phase... but there was a minor miscalculation too as they wasn't aware of my current package...

Yup the pay for fresh grad is high. But if you were to compare it with the top MNC then I would say it might be average or border line above average.

So all blacks, you still think people are lying about the fresh grad pay? Lol

I never said tat I didn't believe on the fresh grad pay.. I was actually doubting the so called "Consultant" making big bucks in Accenture... I have to agree its slightly more than average, but if you say too high nt really la... Only O & G u can make tat much of money...

So you're not taking the job?

Im waiting for their revised package, then I would think bout it...

Decided to turn it down...

I see I see. Don't mind me asking how much they were offering? If its too personal I would understand and wouldn't persue further.

Actually percentage wise around 20%++.. But my current situation is slightly complex, since I would be getting the same amount or more if I stay in my current plc in a around few months time..

So it doesn't make sense to make move now.. Since the tradeoff is so slim.. But watever being mentioned here for consultant salary juz makes me But tats mayb bcoz im slightly overpaid currently

Is there a such thing as overpaid. Unless you just shake your legs behind your desk.

Im talking in terms of years of experience and my current salary... But sometime as u mentioned...

Don't shake too much or your money start dropping off from your pocket.

Hey,

I just got a invitation to have a phone interview for Technology Consulting in the oil and gas industry from Accenture. Currently, I am working for an oil and gas company in the commercial side rather than technical. Just wondering what is the job scope. Since I just graduated last year, I am more interested in going offshore and upstream in the oil and gas industry before venturing into the consultancy field. I am a chemical engineer by background. Nevertheless, I would just give it a go anyways.
So, anybody who knows about this field Accenture mentioned would be appreciated.

P/s if there's a salary range would be a good plus. But am more interested in the job scope that matches my interest.

Cheers and regards.

Is it true that they dont hire graduates from local unis?

no la.. maybe less preference? During my recruitment day, there were 7 of us.. during introduction most of us disclosed our uni. im from nottingham malaysia myself. Theres another guy whose from MMU i remember, he did quite ok but not spectacular. theres another from uni of sunderland whom i know then got the offer but unhappy with 3.6k salary lol. in fact the managers there are mostly from foreign uni. but chance is always there for outstanding local uni applicants

lol i wouldnt say im "outstanding" im from uitm, bachelor in statistics, cgpa around 3.4.. reckon i still hve a chance?

I wouldn't say there's a bias towards students from foreign uni as there are plenty of local graduates in Accenture that I know of. I believe the key criteria pre-determined by Accenture is your ability to converse and write in English.

May I know if place in Accenture "Technology Analyst Consulting Group", do I able to learn Technical Stuff? Like Cisco Networking Technical Skill or exposure in hands on like Routers / Switches? Or purely just Consult only?

You know it's important for fresh graduates to grasp technical skills / knowledge as much as possible as a FRESH to build up CV.

Simply because I having internship (last semester) at Maxis, in dilemma choosing Maxis / Accenture / Hilti Asia IT Services after Graduate.

P/S: Want a Career with High Pay and able to grasp knowledge or technical skills at the same time that's why want to be in Accenture "Technology Analyst Consulting Group" - High Pay (correct me if I'm wrong, most comments written Consulting Group having 3.5k, while Solutions having 2.5k only) instead of "Accenture Technology Solutions". I'm taking IT Degree Course.

Compensation depends on a lot of things. Prior experience, performance during the interview, skillsets etc. There are instances of starting salaries at the higher end of the allowed range. RM3.8k-4k.

All in all, depends on what you can bring to the table.

How about knowledge? Do I able "To Learn Technical Stuff specialized in Networking" (IT - cause I'm taking Degree IT Networking Course) if I'm in "Technology Analyst Consulting Group"? or "Purely Consult Only"?

Good thread. I am wondering about the salary range too.

Specifically, is there higher pay package given to the peeps in Management Consulting practice? As far as I know, other consulting housees offer slightly higher compensation packages for the management consultants. Is that true for Accenture? Management consulting in financial services btw.
