Currently an Advisory Consultant at Deloitte for 1.6 years post college graduation making 75k. Got an offer from Booz Allen Hamilton for Analytics role as a SC for 96.5k.

Advice for growth and or if the offer is worth taking? I get the salary increase is nice, but the network jump going from Big4 to non.

Honestly, having big 4 experience on the resume is enough. Take the offer, more money, a step up title/responsibility wise. You’ll be waiting at least two years at Deloitte for that money. Is there a signing bonus? What about annual bonus?

Will have that info soon and update you!

I’d take the money. We also have a better 401(k).
More info: Booz isn’t bad. It is highly dependent on the project you’re on, though (make sure you’re joining a good one). Some are good, some are mind-numbing staff aug. I also think promotions here are a bit harder to get than at D, but not sure.

If you're in the fed space, take the BAH offer hands down. BAH's brand in the fed sector is just as good as, if not better, than Deloitte's and BAH has a significantly larger fed presence than Deloitte, too.

If this is for commercial, BAH is a bit player there and Deloitte has much more opportunities for advancement and different projects in that space.

If you're being offered nearly $100k with that YOE at BAH, that indicates that you're not being considered for a staff aug project, which is a good sign. On the other hand, unless it's a cyber role, you won't be eligible for bonuses for quite a while (senior associate level, which would realistically be probably 7+ years down the road if you're coming in as a senior consultant), though base comp increases *can* be great depending on the project and admin chain.

Near 100k with less than 3 YOE is rare from what I’m gathering on here. I’d take it and jump in another 2 year if your salary plateaus at BAH. What was your experience that got you the offer?

Dashboard development and data analytics. It’s not unusual in the software world although I’m not in there lol

If you are urged to take the extra 1.5k per month then take it (i.e to pay for student loans).

A few notes for you. You will be moving from a global to a local company. Some people in big4s tend to forget a few perks they have:
1. Access to network of experts (global), which is always useful.
2. Mobility across countries is easier. (i.e I have moved 3 times, US, EU and now Asia)
3. More promotion opportunities (not really much lobbying required before the M to SM). In smaller firms space for promotion is always tougher.
4. Network. might sound dumb, but you know your leadership and teams. When you move, you will have to restart all that from scratch.
5. Infrastructure. like any big4, you have access to tons of resources (innovation labs, and ecosystem) if you use those regularly, you might get frustrated in a smaller firm.

Of course there are upsides in moving to a smaller firm:
1. Higher trust and flexibility on your work
2. More responsibility
3. Closer Ownership of P&L
4. Less restrictive BS. If you need something, it will be easier to get it.
5. More control over salary negotiation

Booz is weirdly local. We have work around the country, and the world, but a solid majority is in the DMV. And most leadership is in the DMV, too. This may or may not be an issue for you.
That said, it is not a small company by ANY stretch of the imagination.

If you want to move up in the government consulting world, you can’t go wrong with either one, so go with the higher offer but make sure your manager is someone you respect and is also respected at the firm so you can ride that gravy train. Better manager/mentor makes all the difference at your level until you go higher.
