Currently working for a global tech company on a decent-ish salary where I've been two years. The work is ok. It can be interesting at times, and most of the time I'm left to my own devices to get on with my work. I randomly applied for a higher level director position with a competitor on a similar role (less client exposure, more internal work) and now been offered the role with a 33% pay increase, but now I'm not sure whether to accept for the upheaval etc. Any advice?

That sounds like an amazing deal. You are just concerned about starting over at a new place? Sounds like you aren't crazy about your current employer anyway...

I would definitely bring up the offer and see what they say. If you're happy with where you are, go for it...but if you're not taking it because it feels out of your comfort zone, maybe that's actually a sign to take it? Maybe this will force their hand to give you more clarity on what the new role they have for you is all about

What's not to like? More $$. Higher title. What has you hesitating?

Ahh I understand. I think you can grow through either experience, but if you feel like staying put for now is a better career move then you should listen to your gut.

For me I'd stay with the company I'm at where I can move at my own pace!

Maybe you can refer me to your current role when you take the new position.

Kidding. Not really.

Considering pivoting into a local MM IB. As my title suggests, my technical skills aren’t as honed as one who has focused on the analysis route. How much of being an Analyst at a smaller IB is technical skill heavy coming into the role? I hold my 7, 66, 24, and am not worried about getting the 79. Any input for how realistic this is? When looking at one particular firm’s career page it doesn’t mention technical skills or modeling once, which led me to believe it may be less important than soft.
