Accenture Salary Information (2025)
The annual Fishbowl Accenture salary survey results were recently released online, so let’s see how things look after Accenture restarted promotions following a nearly two-year freeze.
As the survey was conducted through Fishbowl, only respondents with an Accenture email address were eligible to participate, and the accuracy of their responses was based on the honor system.
The last report made public online was for 2020 salaries; this will provide us with a good view of what has happened over the previous five years.
Let’s start with new salaries by level. The data below was filtered for only US-based responses, and the 2019 survey lumped all Managing Directors in the “L4+” bucket. The 2025 data includes a separate bucket for L3 MDs.
All salaries by level have increased since 2020, except for Analysts (L11)! This was the most eye-popping stat for me, as Analysts have already seen a significant hit to their starting salaries, even before the impact of AI really kicks in.
The next time you give an Analyst the “I also had it rough speech,” no one has had it as bad as they do now.
Let’s examine the average increase by level between 2020 and 2025. Interestingly, Associate Directors have seen the most significant increase in average salary between the two surveys, along with Senior Analysts. I’m sure the “Months at Level” could be driving this, but the 2019 survey data didn’t include this information.
It becomes particularly disheartening when you annualize the total raise amount, as the average annual raise ranges between 1.5% and 4%.
Both the 2019 and 2025 surveys also included the before-and-after salary amounts.
The 2019 promotion pay raises varied by almost 10%, with the highest raises going to Managing Directors. In contrast, the 2025 promotion raises were relatively consistent, around 15% for each level.
The 2019 survey data also includes cash bonus and equity information, but it appears that the 2025 promotees won’t receive this information until later in the year.
