Fish fam, would love to hear your thoughts on an exit opportunity. Currently at a B4, SM year 1 in TX, making $155k base. On track for making partner in 4-5 years. Great relationships/network/mentors. Got an offer from top10 bank at Senior Director IC Level $270k + 60k bonus + 45k stock. Technical Role and better WLB. Thoughts and advice would be appreciated. Thank fam🤗

Not sure how this is even a question with that big of a jump in comp and better WLB. You can always boomerang back later if you end up not liking the new role

Ha! McK, definitely not intending to flex here. The relationships and long term earning potential are very good reasons to think it through. But I get that overall at this point it makes sense to take the offer.

Sounds like a great offer. I would take it. You are underpaid as an SM by the way

Agree with C1, I’m a Senior Consultant in TX making $10K more in base salary. You should definitely jump on that offer. At a bare minimum, if you decide to stay in consulting, I would definitely consider leaving for another SM role in Big 4 consulting.

funny

What's your YOE? Is 270k base? I.e. 115k increase in guaranteed income? That in itself would support the rationale for accepting the role

I'd take it without other thoughts. If you have a good network, you can always go back to consulting in a couple of years. What type of technical role is this?

Had a rockstar SM leave for industry, hotel company, hit hard by COVID, came back 4 years later as a direct admit Partner. Not sure his salary, but have a feeling his industry experience and network (had a VP role) made him more attractive and taking a guess they made his pay way better than if he stayed as a home grown. Nothing to lose, go for it!
