Got an offer from Guidehouse for a ton more money than I make now. I love the people and culture at EY, and I don’t want to sound like a loyalist, but I’m torn. Thoughts?

Take the money. Coming from someone who was with Guidehouse when it was part of PwC, Enjoy not having to deal with audit firm compliance bs for awhile. Then if you like it stay. If you don’t then just bounce to a different firm

I am 100% not in agreement with those who say take the cash.
If you’re happy where you are culture and work wise, that is one of, if not the, most important factors in your success. You’ll work harder, and be more successful in a positive environment than somewhere with a higher salary only.

Look long and hard at the differences in culture and pick the one that suits you the best. The money will follow.

That’s the point you see. I moved from EY to PwC. And found the difference in culture soothing (it all depends on which group you are associated with in such a large firm). Then few years in, there was a change in the leadership and I cannot even recognize the firm (or my group) anymore.

You will be bored to tears with the projects here don’t do it. Also our IT is absolutely terrible and there are no professional development opportunities and they haven’t figured it out after over a year. Joined this year and bidding time till I can leave without burning a bridge.

I heard Navigant is bringing alot of infrastructure with it. I'm holding out on any career changes till post merger.

I’m torn for you too, OP. I was at Guidehouse post transition and it was a tire fire. My friends / colleagues still there say it’s gotten only worse for them and most are looking to leave. But that’s a great offer and even if you only stay for a year you can leverage it to make another jump.

Here to tell you they got worse 😂

As an FYI...I took a 40% raise (well into 6 figures additional) to come to PwC and I hate this place.

Follow the cash, and boomerang back for even more if it’s not what you were hoping for

Ya agree D1 EY had some assholes and Deloitte has some snakes. Can’t avoid them I guess😢. Maybe it’s because EY was my first job outta college and I left a few months ago. But it still hurts like a bad breakup

How much is a “ton”?

If that’s more than a 25% raise for you, take it. It’s life changing. Just keep your skills up and you can always boomerang back. Continue to tell EY how torn you are and hate leaving etc etc so they’ll welcome you back.. prob at a hire level.

I’m extremely happy at Guidehouse (legacy PwC) and am really excited for the future with Navigant too. It definitely depends on your sector, project, and level- but I say go for it.

Are you in fed right now?
