Extremely easy 105k consulting analyst job vs jumping to PIMCO Associate role (Stratgy) for 130k TC?

I'm currently in a super comfortable & fully remote project ending mid next year. And my experience has been similar the past 1.5years.
And I'm lowkey bored with this job and looking for new perspective.
I heard PIMCO/ similar banking jobs got harsh and trash culture and work hours.
Anyone opinion?

Depends on what you want. If your salary is $105k, then I’m sure your bonuses + 401k match + everything else is probably not much less than the TC for the PIMCO role.

So it’s probably more of an introspective question of if you want to learn more (but work harder as a result) or if you would prefer to channel your free time now to learn at your own pace

Ah, classic Accenture. It’s gotta be one of the most brain dead companies in the industry.

This early in your career is not the time to comfortable - it’s the time to be constantly learning new things and upskilling.

Else you’re going to end up as a 30-35 yr old (mid career professional) without a solid foundation of skills and knowledge.

It will hurt you when trying to get into leadership

I’m on the same boat with same TC. Been working on the lightest projects in the pipeline but not learning anything… wondering if it’s time to look elsewhere?

Always have something on the side!🙏
