Got an offer from Amazon. The role has a potential of leading to a DS track, 20-25% salary bump. But I have been second guessing if its the right move. Using fishbowl as a sounding board:
Pros & cons.

Take it, for sure. Salary bump (combined with cheaper COL), way stronger brand name on your CV, staying in tech/tech-focus. Seems like a no brainier

Take it.

If you’re looking to do ds, I don’t think EY is a great place for that. Not sure which group you’re currently in, but if you ask around in AA, apparently the practice is not doing so well now (not selling projects, lots of people on bench).

Amazon is not known for the best pay and wlb in tech, but from what I have heard, its a great place to build your technical skills (rigorous code review etc). And you can always jump to another big tech if you end up not liking the firm/role. But directly jumping from consulting to a big tech would be more difficult, especially when there aren’t good projects around.

I’m in AA and I second this. The practice lead can’t sell projects, and all they have is 2-3 shitty demos with fancy names that never get sold. I regret my decision every single day.

Pros of staying at EY:
- NYC
- Have been a part of good team since the last 2 years
- Decent WLB
- On promo track next year to Manager

Cons:
- Once I become manager, I’ll def lose touch with tech which is my area of strength and passion
- Not sure how good the hike would be in Advisory PI

Pros of Amazon:
- Amazing scope of work in tech
- Decent hike

Cons:
Seattle (didn’t quite like the place)
Maybe WLB (yet to know)

Fishes what should I do?

Hi ! I have gotten an offer via email for what I believe is level 9 data visualization specialist in the dc area. I have a masters and 3.5 years of consulting experience. I’ve gotten an initial offer and trying to get some context on what the range is for this and whether I should push for more or accept. It is 5,000 above what I said my minimum was, but is significantly more than my current salary. Thanks for any input :)

In my organization, most with my role are commission based. I make a set salary due to the firm I work for as an account manager/ coordinator for clients… I coordinate their enrollments, working with each groups HR department as to benefits and payroll purposes, and schedule our benefit counselors accordingly.
