Please help. I’ve moved up the ranks pretty quickly at the company I work for to become a Principal SE.

I’m torn because I do love being an IC but I’m interested in leadership also. What do I do?

Just accepted a job at big 4, I have 1 YOE experience as a data scientist, plan is to stay for 2 years then go to MBB or masters…thoughts?
