Currently an experienced hire C at Deloitte, making 120k base. Promotion got denied. TCS CS&I recruiter reached out for a role. I told him my expectations were 170k base and total comp in low to mid 200s. He said that very top band SCs and entry/mid level Ms make that as base. TC wise only Ms go into 200s. I think I can negotiate an M role. Question is, is it worth the switch from Deloitte to TCS? I don't see myself in Consulting long term. Will eventually switch to industry in 3-4 years.

If they’re going to pay you that much and potentially give you the manager title then who wtf cares. That’s an enormous jump.

Screw the PrEsTiGe people on here. Money is real and if that’s what they are offering you as a current C at Deloitte then take the money

In my opinion, not worth the switch, especially if you are planning to exit to industry. You get better mentorship, learning opportunities and peers at big 4 than at TCS. The learning experience at Big4 will surely help you succeed in industry. I would switch to another Big 4 if I was hired at a lower level at D and didn’t get promoted.

If you can go from C at Deloitte to M at TCS, do it. You should try for SC/SA elsehwere in big 4 simultaneously.

You're your YOE.

That’s a lot of money —- I think you just want to manage your expectations, you may get to TCS and do a lot of sitting around and not build any skills.

Looking for advice on career change. I’m a 45 year old single mom - I’ve been at my job for 18 years. I know I could be doing more. The job isn’t fulfilling and the workplace is rather toxic. The pay is pretty good - when I look at other open positions in my field / the pay is much less or the same. Honestly just unsure of what I “want” to do. Stay where I am and get a side hustle that may be fulfilling or change careers altogether. I’m a placement coordinator at a home care agency.
