Are there benefits to staying at a consulting firm for more than a year if the exit opportunities offer more? Analytics consultant here, looking to be earning about 90k next year. I think I could make 120k in industry, but I could probably exit closer to 160 in about 5 years. Am I foolish for thinking it’d be better to stay given the learning opportunities?

Staying is overrated

No it’s just that the opportunities won’t improve much as you wait. As long as you keep hopping every so often you’ll get a market adjustment

Where do you think you could make 120? I’m at 2 YOE and all the exits I’ve interviewed for have been in the 85-100 range so far. Unless you’re in SF... that’s a different story

I have technical analytics skills and project experience which could definitely put me above 100k

I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
