Boutique or big 4?

I'm currently an ops manager at a big 4 in London and received an offer from a small boutique firm with 25-30% pay rise.

I'm also in the process with Accenture but I feel like I'm not sure if I'd jump just for the money but also change in environment.
What type of things would you be asking yourself if you were in my shoes and debating to jump ship?

Is it different / more interesting or just a raise?

What do you like most about your current job? What are the reasons you want a change? What are your long term goals? Knowing what makes work enjoyable for you is key. For example I love working on projects. I hate it when my job is the same every day. I like working on high pressure items with deadlines. I know other people that are the opposite and want to become an expert in a topic and do similar work everyday. Some people like o lead others and some are best as individual contributors. Know yourself and look for a job that best fits what makes you happy. And always consider money. Only YOU will look out for yourself and we work to be paid and you should try to maximize that.

uplifting

Thank you!!

It's Potentially both more interesting way of working and also a raise, I'm definitely Comfortable in the environment I'm in but I'm already thinking hmmm what next? Eventually I'm debating going freelance and a smaller company would help prepare me for that rather then being a good corporate citizen climbing the ladder.

Saying that earning potential long term might be better at the big 4... But that's a big IF to say I'd still be there to enjoy the fruit.

Also slightly hesitant in the current environment but my area of business I work is seems v sturdy
