Currently a consultant at Accenture in Toronto, 4YOE, making ~110K total comp. Got an offer for ~130K (base, no bonus) to leave for a smaller/boutique consulting firm. Would you take it?

Sure, Accenture may end up just acquiring your new firm though. 😂

130 after taxes may not be a lot. Use a salary calculator to determine how much of a difference you would see per month. Going to smaller firm might also not have a lot of benefits so make sure it’s worthwhile.

Supplemental income is not taxed at higher rates than salary. Withholding may be higher, but at filing they are treated exactly the same

Imo, I don’t think the $20K is worth the compromise of the brand for the long run. Think about how much you can sell your skill (and thus raise your comp) further in the long run if you stay in Accenture, that’s my two cents.

Think about when OP moves to a smaller brand - it will be harder to find a better offer and bargain once they’re in the smaller firm. There’s a reason why some bigger consulting firms lowball you, they know the value of their brand.

Is comp the only factor or anything else in play too?

Yes.

How do I go back to the recruiter to negotiate further? I suggested that I’d probably sign but need time to think. Now I’d like to go back and request 140k salary.
