Analyst at Accenture, offered a position in the Identity & Access Management space with a small consulting company. I will be taking a pay cut but will get good work life balance & the option to work in a different state while living with my life partner. More over I will get a sense of direction in my career cause I'm already 29 and I will still be a generalist by the time I'm 30. I'm not too keen on what I'm doing at Accenture at the moment anyway. What do you think? Is it worth it?

Big no from me. Have an open conversation with your manager and let him know that the work is not aligning to your expectations. I would not take a pay cut to go to a smaller consultancy.

to me it doesn't sound worth it (but I'm not married and I also don't have location considerations) - why not wait until promo to consultant first and get better offers?

Have you raised your interests lying elsewhere with your CC?

I had the same experience with my previous CC.. I switched to one that does work more aligned with my interests and better understands me and my career goals and it’s been amazing. Helped me change projects and everything

Is the new state in a different region? A transfer could open up some opportunities.

You should do what feels right to you. If the smaller firm job takes you one step closer to your ultimate career goal(s) and the salary is acceptable to you, who cares if you take a pay cut in your path forward? Also, consider what the value of feeling fulfilled in your job is to you and calculate that into your considerations.

I have discussed the mid-career crisis aspect and think I'm still there, I just do not care about the job anymore.
