Have a current offer at PwC but just received an offer for a lot more starting salary at West Monroe. Both offers for the NY office but unsure if rescinding on PwC is worth it. Any thoughts? Please help 🥲

Follow the money. You can always join big4 in a few years and negotiate from a stronger place.

The downside is if Big4 levels down OP in the future

Depends on where you are in your career - if early, which is going to give you more opportunity to grow? Recommend spending time understanding the team you'll work with and the actual work you'll do and/or the clients. I turned down a higher salary to go back to PwC and am happy I'm here. If you ever want to go Global, PWC's Secondment program is amazing, I worked for our German firm. Happy to discuss if you want to DM me.

I had an offer from them for a sizable amount and turned it down. Kind of regret it but I’m pretty sure they just got bought by a PE firm or something

Hi lady fish,

I’ve been with Accenture for 10 years and am about to take maternal leave. I got an interesting conversation with HR yesterday about leaving Accenture after maternal leave, and the kicker is to join the client. I got a couple of questions for you guys:

One...did anyone leave Accenture right after maternal leave? If so, what happened? Did they have to pay back anything?
