Submit a Salary"Being an experienced hire rather than a college graduate which is the typical Accenture hire, put me in a unique situation in that I went in with experience and a previous salary base. I changed roles when I joined Accenture. The new salary was very fair and considerably more than I was making previously. However, the salary was at the low end of market salary (the range of salaries for others in the profession in a given geographical location) for a project manager. I made the mistake when I was hired of not knowing what the range was and not fighting for what I felt I was worth and that error stayed with me for a very long time. Know the market and what the salary is for the position you are looking at and be willing to fight for what you want. Raises are based on a percentage of the starting point -- so the starting point is very important. Even promotions are affected by the starting point. So be wise and know what you are worth."
