Hi, I'm leaving Citi in 2 months.It's hard to make this decision. I have an offer from a small startup.In citi, my previous experience was not considered and was reskilled to different tech which is the reason for change.I don't like to exit citi. As I like the company so much.But considering my current knowledge,I am in the middle of the sea.I am afraid now that the new company's offer would be revoked due to this recession?Or can I take back my resignation in citi before the last working day.Is this wise decision?

Boutiques are really different from each other and there's no set experience, saying this as someone who's been at two different boutiques. You could be in a tiny shop where you report directly to the CEO or you could be in a multinational where the size of things make it feel more similar to a Big 4. You could be in a niche consultancy or a general purpose one. Some boutiques prioritise worker retention with good salary progression while others can't do that (no money) or won't do that (more profitable for them to have high turnover).
As for being worried about jumping ship in current conditions... I don't see why everyone thinks the sky is falling. Unemployment is 3.5% and Home Affairs is trying to get more immigrants in the country to deal with skills shortages. Sure there's some high-profile mess ups like EY laying off people, but in general us management consultants are living it easier than almost everyone else (certainly easier than quite a few teachers and nurses, that's for sure). Don't quit without a job offer in hand, but if you do move jobs for a pay raise isn't that gonna make you more financially secure, not less?
Usually a no brainer if you’re in strategy consulting.
Learn about the growth, learning opportunities, WLB and salary at the boutique.
Would throw in Altman Solon (very strong in TMT), OC&C and Advancy also.
These firms (esp PJP, Altman, PiP) compete with MBB/T2 for talent and in the market, and are seen as more desirable than big 4 for employees.
