A lot of people in Accenture talk about making SE and how it's not what it was before the IPO. This raises the question in my mind when looking at the coming years when I'll be aiming to get there and whether, financially, it's worth it. Can anyone shed any light on what sort of packages they are on? Obviously it varies by level but no-one has really given me a straight answer so far!

can't give you the breakdown per SE band, but 150k is average in bands 1-3 and there is limited profit sharing. There are more levels to climb than in the old AA/AC practice and I've seen lower level SEs still doing client delivery work (not at an engagement lead level) which is why people think it's less prestigious.

L4s get paid a market-related base salary (estimate of £150k in post above is probably about right), plus celebratory RSU grant on promotion (vesting over 5 years), plus equity grant to top performers (again vesting). L3s and up get paid based on # of units, which in turn are based on leadership position, business growth, etc. At the top of L3, this would probably be mid to high £200k. Plus all of the extras mentioned above.

Thanks for the help. Do they not get a cash bonus and car allowance or all stock at that point?
