Do I boomerang back to the Big4? I began my career with EY in their strategy consulting practice where I was promoted to Manager before leaving for industry where I've been the last 2 years. I was just offered a Manager level role with Deloitte at $175k base plus 31% bonus (max) plus a $10k signing bonus which is about 30% more than what I make now. Is this a good offer? I am struggling whether or not to get back into consulting because of the lack of work life balance. Tell me what to do!

The goal is to have some time outside of work so you can do things that you enjoy, like go for a jog, or play tennis, or work out in the gym, kickboxing, rock climbing in the evenings after work.

Is TC 30% higher? Deloitte folks on here are pretty adamant that almost everyone gets closer to a 10% bonus, so I'd take that into consideration.

What do you do now and how is growth?

How much do you value your time at?
I determine how much I work and what I get paid and determine my billable rate. This helps me determine if it’s worth it or not.

I use this when deciding a lot of things, will I mow my own yard or sub it out.

.

What’s your YOE

I would ask around here for what that 31% max really is, seems like D offers bonus but it’s not guaranteed.

They gotta come up closer to 200k
