If you are going to get fired anytime, how is staying at your current firm an option? Unless you meant the options are 1) stay unemployed until getting a manger role 2) lateral move
I guess it’s 1) potentially get laid off and contract/career break or 2) potentially be a 6-7yr senior consultant
You may get severance if you’re fired, how imminent is this? Maybe hold out for severance and then take the lateral offer.
If you think you're getting fired, then take the senior role. It is hard to go from senior in one firm to manager in another. They typically want people who are already managers. I work in big 4 and we don't hire seniors into manager positions.
What are you looking for? Salary, title, growth opps? Are you moving to a better firm - assume this is B4. It’s all the same really across these firms
That’s why I applied for M, but yea you got a point. Being SC may be a lot easier/chill
Just ride it out if you can at the current firm. Severance is only 4-5 weeks (likely 1 year for each year of service; and is not that much). This is not a good market. It could take while to find a similar role. The best senario is they term you and you have an option to go back and take the lateral offer. Cannot time everything.
Being senior 4+ years used to be seen in a negative light, but that’s changing
Yeah. Is the other firm just as prestigious/ creditable in the work? If so I’d take it and just aim to get promoted within 1 year.
Yeah. I wouldn’t overthink it then. If you are getting laid off I’d just move companies and try not to burn any bridges.
I’m not taking it, I’ll take a career break or something. Not going to waste another 2 years heavily owning night calls and getting looked over because of opinion

Sounds like you should move to a new firm then? Is there a pay bump?

If you’re getting termed then take it.
