Currently working in NYC at KPMG financial due diligence with 4.5 total years of experience. Getting promoted to manager in 2-3 months with 130k target base salary and 12k annual bonus. Got an offer in Bay Area California for a senior financial analyst for global strategy and M&A at fortune 150 firm with 140k base, $15k sign on, 10% annual bonus, relocation, and great benefits. Thinking of leaving promotion on table, long term goal is FAANG or tech. Is this a fair offer?

I personally wouldn’t leave for a <10% base increase with no equity/stock incentives.

Idk but 130k for manager in FDD is weak. I’d stick around for promo then jump

What’s the upward mobility at the offer firm? I’ve seen so many people just stuck as senior “X” analysts for years after leaving the Big 4 as seniors because there’s no managerial promotion opportunity then have difficulty getting a managerial position elsewhere because they have just been individual contributors their entire professional lives.

The % bump is too minimal to really jump off the professional services wagon.

I would get the M at KPMG then get a manager position in the industry.

It’s a new group that started a year and half ago, looking to expand over the next few years. They’re only hiring because of current senior getting promoted to manager so I would be taking their place.
