Yep, just do what D2 said. It's small and disorganized with poor communication from leadership. It just feels JV.

The unlimited PTO is cool if you are able to manage your utilization and are on a decent team. I think I took about five weeks off one year.

I have a friend that joined a few months ago. Honestly it seems scattered and unorganized. Seems like they are trying to gather people with marketable clearances over actual skillsets. Having said that, I heard they offered my friend a sizable increase and title improvement. Likely because of her TS/SCI.
Probably cannot compare GT to the likes of federal BAH, Deloitte, etc.

Do it but don’t stay long. Take the huge pay + title bump and jump again in 1-2 years back to Big 4 or BAH.

EY1: say more!

And thanks for the insight D1. A significant bump in pay sounds great but I want to avoid getting to the point where my skills stagnate and I'm not well placed for my next move.

Thanks all. That might be a good plan. I get so risk averse and end up hurting my own salary progression because of it.

EY1 was PTO counted against you when it comes to utilization? Or would being billable throughout most of the year be enough to protect yourself when taking that much time off?
