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?

If you’re goin into consulting you sacrifice a bit of WLB. If that’s worth the pay bump, take it. Else shop around for other director-level work in the industry and see if you get better comp.

From my own perspective: There is so much industry work out there right now that I wouldn’t take any consulting role without a >25% _base_increase.
