A big dilemma
How many people have chosen to step out of a Product oriented role to a consulting like Big4? My current role seems easy with complete WFH and international travel benefits while my new role at Big4 can pay me more and make me come right to the market standards. What should I choose??

What’s your goal? Making partner at big 4? Using big 4 as a stepping stone for something your current role can’t provide? If it’s just money, think hard about if the incremental pay worth all the commute and stress

Sounds like your current role is comfortable but does not provide the career opportunities you want and you are underpaid? If switching to big 4 can help you get to where you want faster then do it. If you need sponsorship / more time for fam etc that’s a different story

Curious, what’s your job title at your current gig. Wanna trade LOL

What if the salary is less? Would you still trade?

Do companies sometimes offer "gifts of appreciation" if you're not selected for a merit increase? My manager randomly called me to let me know I was chosen for the "gift" this year bc of my "hard work & dedication", except now I'm learning other colleagues are receiving actual merits.
I mean it's possible that I may receive a merit, but I feel like I won't considering my manager never brought it up & the dept update made it sound like those receiving it should know by now.
