It's been a while, but I went straight into Accenture out of school (Andersen Consulting at the time actually). It all depends on your manager. If you have a good manager/partner, then once you show you're not just another cog, you'll have plenty of opportunities. And if you're technically good and put in the hours, and your senior manager/partner has pull among his/her peers, then you will be taken care of in raises/promotions/etc. As soon as you notice the senior management can't go to bat for you for the things you want, then IMHO you should look to make a move. Ideally you can make a move internally, but you dont want to be stuck.
