A CRO offerred me an internal consulting/biz dev role. They offered 145k TC (20% bump) and slightly better benefits. They also offered accelerated path (6mo to 1yr) to MC. While promotion to MC at my current company is at least 1 year away. The job is interesting to me and fits my careery goal. But my big concern is that I've only been with my current company for a year (this is my first job, post PhD). Would this affect my resume in the future in terms of being viewed as "job hopping"?

I wouldn’t worry about job hopping from a visibility standpoint, especially in this market, unless you signed a 2-year contract or something. Bigger questions is how the move fits into your long-term goals. Exits tend to be higher if you stay in for longer, but in this instance, it’s looking like you could really accelerate a bit. Trade off would be in your trajectory. You may or may not rise faster, but you’ll also be in a more narrow scope. If you like that scope, then great, but if you want to pivot to something else in 3 years, you may have an easier time in consulting

Totally agree on the point about broader exit opportunities if stayed longer in consulting (but probably not my current company, lol). Thanks!

Which CRO? Culture varies widely between the big ones - have anecdotal experience with all top 5 big ones in US

Why not the external consulting team?
