Currently work in banking. I recently received an offer from Sia Partners in consulting. I would make 27K more a year with 20% target bonus. I like my boss and team a lot. However, I have worked in consulting before an loved it. Trying to decide if I should take the offer? Or if I should stay?

You can always go from banking to consulting, but not necessarily the easiest to do it the other way around. Why not try pivoting to PE before going the consulting route?

Yes best decision I ever made.

Is the comp the only motivation? Or do you like the work and career trajectory. Consulting is definitely a better work environment. As a background worked in banking and done consulting

I like the worm and career trajectory of consulting. One thing I don’t like in banking is the hierarchy involved for instance by boss would like to give me a promotion but the firm is very big on seniority I am by far the youngest person on my team currently I also am one of the highest paid but lowest job title. I was told I wouldn’t get a title promotion until after 2 years at the firm. The scope of my first in project in consulting is very interesting and exciting. I would only be working on projects in banking as well.
