Currently analyst at D (71k) on a project not aligned with my interests. Booz Allen offered me a senior consultant position (95k/7k) that aligns with my interests. Would 100% take it but I’ve only been at D for 4 months and I feel super shitty about the thought of telling my leadership I’m leaving since they’ve been extremely nice. Thoughts? Currently 50/50 with a lot of my friends and family saying i should take the offer.

Go to Booz. No one will care. Do what’s right for you. This is a great opportunity for you. Life altering. So many analysts were laid off - no leadership was crying about it.

Take it. It will be a few years at least before you catch up. You may not have the opportunity to work for Deloitte again (you may as well, I don’t know how they feel about 4 month boomerangs..), but there are plenty more consulting companies you can jump to later.

Just be prepared that your responsibilities are going to change probably significantly. It may be a struggle at first.

But anyway, the money talks, especially at that level!

Take it! If the roles were reversed, the firm would also do what is in their best financial interest and so should you. It’s business—it’s not personal.
