Currently a consultant at a boutique firm. Really want to leave, preferably to industry but not having luck with offers. Got a B4 offer for Sr. consultant. Base pay would go from 90 to 110. I’ve already job hopped a bit (3 companies, 4 years). Should I take the job at B4 and try an exit in a year or two (with better name on resume), or decline the offer and keep looking?

A 20K raise at your level is hard to ignore

Almost the same exact position as you were last year. Took the B4 offer and have no regrets. Am even getting very good exit interview offers less than a year in though I may stick around a little while longer

Agree with D1. That is a nice jump. And having a better name on the resume is good. Put up with consulting for another year and see if the industry offers occur.

EDIT: also, having a higher base salary will help salary negotiations on your next job.

Same sentiments as @D1... a 20%+ (20k) raise is quite substantial. I would probably take the job offer at B4, unless you are super in reach of an offer from T2/T1

How many years experience do you have? Which school? You might be able to push for more

Dear Fishes, I am in a conundrum currently. I have two offers. One from Deloitte USI (17.5 LPA fixed, 1.75 LPA variable and 1.5 L joining bonus). The other is from Infosys (25 LPA CTC. Permanent WFH. Negotiation is still on for this.)

Could you please be so kind as to help me decide which one to choose?
