Does it make sense to do a lateral move to another Big 4 in this environment (granted barely anyone is even hiring)? I have been with EY for a bit now and getting bored to the point im losing motivation to work. but the bills needs to be paid.
Want to pivot to tech but with the mass layoffs and how many smarter ppl are in the market now, not sure il snag an offer.
So I guess I want to know if you went from one big 4 to another at M+ level and if its worth even exploring that option.

I would drag that out until end of 2023 and see what things look like IMO - the jobs market is a total mess. Deloitte is the only one prestige/pay wise it may make sense for….and remembering 2020, it puts your personal financial status at higher risk

Deloitte prestige

In this environment.. no.

You’d be a new, non-homegrown manager on a high salary (compared to most people at that firm).

Unless you are very highly specialized, if layoffs happen you are first in line

They’re essentially all the same. What you don’t like you may also find elsewhere.

Stay put and look for Industry options

I'm kind on the same boat. Might move from a Tech consulting firm to another. Not sure what to do, the salary bump is good...
