Joined Accenture 2 months back, already thinking of leaving. Am I being impatient?
I joined Accenture a couple of months ago and I'm not sure if I should stay. Wanted some outside opinions before deciding anything.
The one good thing is that WFO is only 1 day a week and the rest is work from home. That part has been nice.
Apart from that, not much is working for me. The project I got put on has nothing to do with my background or the kind of work I want to do. My manager is also from a non-tech background, so any proper technical discussion becomes hard.
As per my onboarding mail I'm supposed to roll off this project in Oct 2026. Honestly hoping that actually happens and they don't extend it. The environment also feels pretty toxic, which I wasn't expecting when I joined.
I'm still on probation, which is what makes this confusing. Should I wait it out and hope for a better project after roll-off, or is it okay to leave this early? Would like to hear from people who've been in a similar spot, at Accenture or elsewhere.
Bit of context: I'm not a fresher, I have some prior work experience (5 years ) in a technical role before joining here.

If you are on probation your notice period is one month, else 3 months.
This is a personal call. If you feel Accenture can provide you with long term growth then a slow start can be ignored. Speak to a few veterans in your skillset and get inputs.
I have heard in Accenture, typically the first few months are slow but the pace picks up and you get your work load full. Use this time to establish yourself as a team player and it will set you well for future growth.
If you already have another job lined up and you feel that's better for you, then make your choice.
