Accepted two interviews from two headhunters for the first time since I joined EY right out of college. They’re both offering $60K more than I make right now, but one is in industry one is at Deloitte. Im a Senior 1 with a Masters degree in Analytics making ~$90k at EY in an HCOL city. Would I be dumb to leave the Big4?

Leaving isn't dumb, but get the offers before worrying too much about the prospect of leaving.

Yes, the Big 4 will always be there but so will industry. Going to Deloitte for a bit, to raise your experience and profile for a higher level exit to industry later isn’t a bad idea. We know in industry promotions aren’t that frequent and far more political.

Is the same true for tech trans or IP group?

What questions should senior associates be asking to get a better assessment of partnership prospects? For context, I’m eligible this year as an 8th year, but it’s more common to make it around years 10-11 at my firm (only equity partners), and I’m trying to determine whether to stick around or lateral before I’m too senior. I’m in a smaller group that historically promotes only one new partner every few years, and there are several others also eligible. Any questions I should avoid asking?
