Got an offer to PwC for manager. Base offer is only slightly higher and signing bonus isn't bad. I'm comfortable where I'm at right now, although I feel siloed in my industry and not really excited by this type of work. I'm thinking PwC will give me more exposure to other industries. Any advice or things to consider before deciding to make the jump? Thanks in advance mates!

The only thing to consider is can your existing network help you move into another industry within Accenture. At PwC you will need to build credibility, relationships and a brand that lets you cross industry very quickly to get that cross industry exposure. PwC will use your industry expedience to sell you back into that industry silo at PwC. So the risk is same work, same industry just at a different firm. I came from PwC to Accenture a few years ago, for what it’s worth I enjoy Accenture a lot more!

Do what works best for you OP and happy to chat further if you want to. My one final thought/learning is you can get screwed over at every firm it’s how you work the politics and your relationships that makes a difference.

@OP - congrats on the offer. PwC is a great place to be and a fantastic firm that has done a lot to develop consulting practice.
Couple of things to consider
1. How long are you seeing your self in consulting - if you want to go for a partner at PwC - you are making the right move
2. Which group you’ll be joining - this is important for mobility and type of work
3. Who are partners you interviewed and whether you’ll work with them
4. Comp - good base and singing bonus are nice but expect limited performance bonus as M, only SM and D have a strong bonuses at PwC
Good luck and congrats on getting an offer

Thanks for this comment. Here's the rundown:
1. I don't see myself sticking around long enough to make partner or MD at any firm. I'm giving myself 10 years max in consulting before packing it all up and pursuing my dream job as a high school science teacher. Let's be real, tracking excel lists isn't as fulfilling as helping shape the future.
2. I'll be joining energy and utilities and what I've been told is that there is mobility between the different industries vs the silo I'm in at Accenture.
3. The partner interviewed with said I'd be working with him and personally gave me the offer. He appeals and relates to a lot of what I'm currently feeling, as he also was in my same practice at ACN before leaving.
4. I've never been about the money and although it is slightly better, not a huge factor... Although everyone has their price.

Why u want to change ? Just for money , then don’t jump . Exposure ? - Make sure what ur getting into as most of experience are one and same at ur level .

Changing your level of exposure will be easier at the current firm. You will have less of a say as a newcomer.
Small increase in base is not a good reason to move, in my opinion.

Power and Utilities. Accenture says they do, but not really.

Lots of great learning opportunities at pwc

What is the base they offered ?

PWC? Or Strategy& or which part? (Like the old Diamond or PRTM practices?)

Depends on the team. In HIA least I’ve found there’s a lot of joint projects

Are you manager now or consultant at Accenture?

Dm'd

What's the new base? Also going to PWC advisory as M

DMed

Which group within PwC advisory?

PwC HR working on Christmas Eve??? Bravo!

Push for at least 10% raise

Not much to add here beyond what’s been said but would seriously think about not just the bump you’d need to rebuild your network but the challenges of rebuilding a network in this WFH environment.

Hi I have asked to be an advisor for a startup. Its in its very early stage pre pre-seed. Its looking like weekly strategy calls and possibly some executional work as well. Like building out a sales process and/or training sales and marketing team members (this might be 1-3hr a week of work).

They are offering 1.5-3.5%. — I am wondering if that’s enough.

In addition to this the founder mentioned that he would like me to consider becoming a co-founder.

I was once at a dinner with a second year analyst, consultant, and partner, and the analyst said he planned on retiring by 30 and the partner and consultant laughed. Little did they know, the analyst owned his own home and rented all the rooms out so he payed no rent, never ate out, only grocery shopped, and very very rarely bought anything new. He saved most of his income, and was perfectly content with just his video games. That man was serious about not being stuck working forever.
