Currently working federal and hate it. Recently received an offer for commercial at big four but would only come in at associate and comp would only increase by 15k max. Is it worth the jump?

Not for 15k. You’ll be working a lot more hours in a much more stressful environment.

But are you sure it’s less responsibility? If work life balance isn’t a huge concern, you’re dying to get out of Federal anyway and you really do see that much of a growth potential, why hesitate.

Worth it. Your pay will increase much more and opportunities are bigger.

Is that just base salary increase? You might also get a bonus that you wouldn’t in federal. Also, if the opportunities/clients and skills you would be building are more in line with your career goals, I personally think it’s worth it. I’m trying to ditch federal myself!

Looks like it would be just the 15k base since I’m at the ceiling or 10k plus 5-7k bonus but would rather max my base. Definitely aligns better with my career goals. Best of luck to you ditching federal!
