Asking for a friend. Currently at a boutique consulting firm as Assistant Director making $170k with good work life balance. On track to Director end of this year with next increment likely at $180k. Has an offer from EY in Financial Services, at M3 level for $195k + $20k sign in bonus. Promotion to Senior Manager at EY doesn't seem likely until 2023. Is this is a good offer? Would it be advisable considering opportunity vs work life balance at EY?

As someone who switched from boutique to B4, I wouldn’t take the EY offer. I’d keep the $170k and WLB. I’d maybe jump for like $215k base and wouldn’t want a signing bonus anyway (in case you wanna leave)
