Currently a M2 at Accenture making $140k base in T2 city working 50-55 hours/week. I have an offer from industry for a PMO role (with the opportunity to move to a different function, which I would likely pursue since I don’t want to stay in PMO)— $140k base, 10-15% bonus, 5k RSU. Office is 5 miles from my house. Thoughts?

1. Do you like the team, department, and company you’re moving to?

2. Is this the industry you want to be in?

3. Are you desperate to leave consulting?

It doesn’t sound very compelling unless it is a strong YES to the questions above. You’re taking this to move to a role you don’t want with the hopes that you might be able to move to something you do want - but it will probably take at least 1 - 2 years for that to happen, if it does at all. I’m pretty wary of those promises of moving to something else once you land at a company because I rarely see anyone be able to keep those promises. Probably better to exit directly to what you want.

That’s a lateral move at best with less clear progression path. I would stay put until you have an offer with a 10%+ base increase.

I’m in a T2 city and a L9, the roles Ive been interviewing for have ranges from 165-215k base. you can push harder

Project or product management roles? What types of companies?

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
