Currently a first year senior in Forensics. Got an offer from boutique IT consulting firm with 22.25% increase in base salary. Pros: opportunity to be on projects involving digital transformation (tech stuff). Cons: small company. Yay or nay?

Do you think the fact that its a small company (with global presence in few other countries) would be detrimental for my future exit opps?

All relative. I left audit at big 4 for same salary at a boutique. Few years later salary up 400%

What are you doing in forensics? It is niche but covers a lot within that small space. Agreed the majority of roles in it will not provide digital development — that does depend on your definition of digital.
