About to be a Senior 3 in people consulting at EY. Unsure when I’ll get to manager (EY seems to be not promoting as many rn).

Offer from grant thorton offering me 20k more than I make now. Asking for a signing bonus as well. They’re building a new change management practice. Should I go?

Take the cash and come back with more experience if you want to. You won’t get 20k from aunt Julie this year

Downgrading to the minor leagues and private equity backed would take a lot more than 20K of convincing

EY to GT lateral is a downgrade I can’t lie lol at least you should go there at manager level plus PE backed firms barely hold a bench

How about get some info from someone who may know. There is no “slow” down in promos. It’s what any business can afford. If you are an S3 and performing real well at the M level you will be promoted now or mid year. If you aren’t and won’t be; then maybe a change is needed.

If the money is a real difference in life (post tax) that is a whole different story.

If you make the move- do for the right personal reasons with the right context.

If you are looking to promote fast- probably. People Consulting had to slow down promos especially to manager. They had way too many people go from staff to senior to manager in a total of 3 years between the first two roles. Now they are course correcting.

This is 100% false. The number of people that went from new hire staff to M in 3 years can probably be counted on one hand and they were legitimate superstars that did not struggle with that speed.

For manager role or lateral

Never believe the “two in the bush” promoted so soon promise.

Run the numbers and try to make an apples to apples comparison. I feel like Grant Thorton's reputation is good - would you essentially do the same work for 20k more? That's kind of telling.

The problem here is not understanding your path to manager and timing. It’s true that there are plenty more ready promo candidates than slots. That’s typical. But at S3, if you’re not clear on your path and timing, have that conv with your counselor and circle leader.

Should I accept it? Or would leaving EY that early not be wise?

Now Deloitte has approached, so can I ask for 30%pay hike considering the switch will happen after completing almost 11-12 months in my current organization or can I ask for more than 30%, depending if I get a senior consultant or manager role? Also will the switch within a year have any negative impact?
