5th year SM here and don’t have much clarity on next level promotion. Recently got an offer from Oracle for Sr. Director role. Is this a step up for a SM or a lateral move? Not sure if I should keep looking or accept the Oracle offer.

Same at the other big 4's. The hardest job. I'd take the Oracle offer if that is a space you want to be in. It sounds it is a lateral or step up move. Exit opportunities at Sr Manager level are not many and comp is often the issue in the industry.

Yup, Deloitte SM surely is toughest spot to be in. Not sure how is it at other big 4s.

Are you getting paid more in the offer relative to COL? If yes, it’s a bump up. Comp aligns scope of responsibility typically.

PMD promotions are very much dependent on one’s network and how other PMDs perceive your work. Not surprised to why so many of my peers have left the firm last year

A question from a youngster. Is working at a big big company with slightly low pay better or working at a much smaller company with higher pay better?

In the future, after a few years, let’s say I’m at a small company and want to switch to big big company, will the “small names” hurt my chance to get into the big doors?

I mean big big company is like 10x bigger than the small one if this was a factor. Assume everything else the same, WLB, commute, teams, etc.
