26 years old. Making 150k currently. Have an exit offer to be a director (medium enterprise organization) for 180k and 20%+ bonus. Is it time for me to say good riddance or wait for something better?

Seems exceptional at 26 ... I would take it .. keep it open when u leave IBM.. say you want to try something different and will come back if you don’t like it.😁

Currently at IBM in their enterprise applications division. Basically no bonus, but a lot of opportunity to move to other consulting partner (Deloitte, pwc, KPMG, etc.) where in the long run Comp and status could be higher.

Not close. Just got promoted in April. Looking at another 2-3 years before I see another possible promo to senior managing consultant.

Take it. You can always come back to consulting later if you want more money or if you miss it.

Go for it!!

i think this is a really nice exit opp at your level. you will grow in your new role and that will lead to more comp down the line. and if you want to come back to consulting, you will come in at a higher level with more comp.
