We have too many  people n India fighting for fewer jobs. So, this criteria is used as a filter. If one has the right contacts, everything is acceptable.

I can understand the filter but will it still stop them to recruit  after the interviews are clear and even the offer was discussed.

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I have done my bachelor's and Mba from  distance , university approved by UGC . I cleared my interview with Accenture but during background verification and offer discussion they asked if I have done 15 years of full time education to which I explained things.
Now I am waiting for their call back.

Whatever i have read says Accenture has a strict policy to not take people who have not completed 15 years of  full time education.also in the job description they add this criteria specifically.
But in the position to which i applied it was only minimum 15 years of education (no full time education was mentioned)

Is there any exception, can someone guide.

I have 5 years of experience bdw. 

Shall I wait or not.

Kindly help

Does Accenture strategy only hire MBAs?
If yes, can executive MBA help in securing a job? (even in other companies like BCG, Bain etc)
I have bachelors and thinking about doing MBA to accelerate my career path.

I often get calls from TCS for hiring and this is happening from past 3 years, they collect educational and professional details then just mention...sorry you did distance learning in your graduation...they are not even bothered about professional career of 11 years and companies I have worked for...not even bothered about taking an interview and then based on that rejecting a candidate....thier pathetic policy is to ask candidates whether you did distance learning and if the answer is yes... directly no to you... people who does distance learning due to financial issues are not supposed to get a job from MNCs?? I have worked in 3 MNCs none of them asked me this pathetic question...they all evaluated me on the basis of my knowledge.

Hello All

I would like your input on whether it’s a good decision to join Accenture Strategy as a Management Consultant. I have 6 years of experience in SAP EWM and currently work at EY GDS with a CTC of 22.4 LPA plus a 10% variable. Accenture Strategy has offered me 34 LPA fixed, which totals 43 LPA with the variable component. However, I am aware that the variable pay at Accenture might not be reliable. Based on the fixed 34 LPA, would you recommend making the switch?

Hi Everyone,

I received an offer letter from Accenture on August 1st, with Kolkata as the location. However, my preferred location is Noida. Before accepting, I was informed by HR and recruiting agencies that;  after I accepted the offer letter will change the location and email to the POCs. Based on this, I accepted the offer and initiated my separation from Infosys.

Despite multiple follow-ups, my POCs have not responded to my emails or calls. My last working day at Infosys is November 1st, and my Accenture joining date is November 4th, but I have not received any onboarding communication yet.

I contacted the Accenture helpdesk yesterday, and they informed me that my location change request was approved but your BGC is at the final stage we didn’t share an updated offer letter before the Completion of BG check, and they said there is a possibility of extending my joining date. This is concerning, as I do not wish to extend the DOJ due to my LWD at Infosys. I also did not want to leave my current company before receiving the updates & onboarding emails from Accenture.
As around 15 days left; if Accenture does extend the DOJ, is it possible to extend my LWD at Infosys as well?

Could you please guide me on how to resolve this situation? To whom I contact ? I need confirmation on my joining date and location, as I cannot afford a delay in the onboarding process.

I got a mail titled - Accenture Documents Requirement - Intimation about non-submission / Discrepancy.
They have asked me to upload a PF statement. Few days back I got a call from their team and they asked me to send the FORM 16 for my previous organization. I sent the PF statement also. After 2 days they have sent this mail. No one is picking the call, HR, BGV team.

[TL;DR former National quizzing champ dropped out of B. Tech in 2020 during peak of addiction and depression . Got over it and sober in Jan'23, resumed college and completed my B. Tech in Feb'24. Picked up coding again and feel ready for a job now Should I be honest or lie about the gap? Been ghosted my few recruiters whom I was honest with.]

JS developer here. I used to be a decent student, public speaker and one of the best quizzers in the college scene (former National Champ). But I never addressed some traumatic events that took place in my life before I turned 16. My depression took refuge in substance abuse and I abandoned all studies/career prospects during the pandemic. Eventually after 7 years of using, I got clean/sober in Jan'23 and resumed my studies. I earned my degree but on paper it took me 8 years to complete a 4 year B. Tech (2016-24).

Reasonably I get asked about the gap in my academics by hr/recruiters whom I push my CV to. I've been dead honest to them about my struggles with mental health and addiction in the past. And I've been getting ghosted. (It could be because of skill reasons on my part but I'm not even getting a feedback).

Should I not tell recruiters the truth about the gap? Should I leave the addiction bit out? How should I word it? I've never held a real coding job before but been slogging for the last 6 months to get better each day (my github and projects will reflect that). Please help me out with all your valuable suggestions. If you're a tech recruiter let me know how you would perceive my case.

Sorry if this is the wrong board to post in, I'm desperate. Should I be honest about my past struggles of depression/addiction with recruiters while explaining the 4 year gap in my resume?

You don't have to. They are not your friends and you don't know how someone might take it as.  
 You have been brave enough to come out of it but unfortunately not everyone will see it.

I applied by my own in Accenture through their career page ! I have not got any call or anything 
Now When I am applying with referrals people are saying no ! As you already applied there once you cannot again apply with referral/ without refferals! 
Like it will show duplicate profile available something like this may be as same happened with me in Infosys!!
