ADVICE NEEDED: Stay at Grant Thornton advisory as an Associate going into promotion year ($83K) in a practice where supply chain planning and procurement software implementation are the main projects sold
OR
Move to a startup where I will be a ‘Senior data analyst’ helping to monetize their product (85K + 15K options (25%/year))
I know this isn’t close to enough info to make a full judgement call but any input is appreciated!

I jumped from supply chain and procurement implementation consulting, personally I knew I had no long term interest in it. I don’t know your long term career goals, but the startup sounds like a no brainer to me.

How will your performance at the start up be rewarded assuming you do well and/or are a high performer there? Also, how do you plan to continue to grow and develop at the start up? Lastly, what’s your financial situation look like in the event the start up fails and your options are worthless and you are laid off?

Positive answers to the above makes the decision pretty straightforward assuming you didn’t have some lifelong dream to make partner at GT - go to the start up.

Makes a lot of sense. I loved being at the tech “start up” I was at, but was likely more established than a real start up because of the IPO (but it was still 3 yrs old and felt like a start up). I was pretty green, so didn’t get any options there. And my salary sucked and I wasn’t learning anything, so jumped to the B4 to get my technical background and credentials. I loved it because I was able to take on roles and responsibilities and get experiences that would have been unheard of at my level at an established company. I fully intend to jump back into one since I’m at a Director level now and can demand a great options package (hopefully).

PA firms aren’t a bad choice, but too long for that Partner pay off IMO.
