Got an offer from a boutique consultancy for a manager role, seems to be better WLB, pay and scope.

However have a dilemma if I should try to get promoted in my current company, as it is looking likely that I will this May.
Then look to leave in a year or two instead, as I know I want to leave at some point question is should I do it now or later

Has anyone else been a similar position? Would be good to get some advice on what you have done, or wish you had done

I'd say move - help yourself and help others. Accenture is going to layoff 10% this cycle - promotion wont give you more than 13% hike anyway - why not save someone else's job and get the wlb you always desired.

Would agree with the above. I’ve also seen so many people get burned by the assumption in Accenture that you’re getting the promotion, then it’s pulled from you due to ‘global performance reasons’. Would take the move elsewhere.

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more.

I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.
