Finally unlocked terraforming! Here’s my entrance

BCG PIPE principal or Goldman IB VP?
Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.
I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.
Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.
Should I stay or should I go?

I used to work at CR. Happy to answer any specific questions you have. In short, it’s a public accounting firm. It’s a great place to earn some experience but in general you don’t want to be in public accounting for too long in my opinion - the compensation just isn’t there for the hours and time that you put in, and the nature of the business is more of a helter skelter fast paced dumpster fire. This is not a specific problem for CR but rather an industry problem. I’d say it’s a great firm to get a few years experience and then to try to bounce soon after a promotion (ideally you’d leave after your promotion to manager, the possible exits just get so much better, but if you leave after being promoted to senior, that’s fine too)
Yea figure it has the same issues as every other large firm . Was more looking if there were any specific issues that make it worse than others. Doesn’t seem that way thanks for the response
I’m here now. DM me any specific questions you have.
