Have an exit opp to large pharma; catch is that they're my current client. How bad of a look would it be to go? 15 YOE, 3 in current role

Current:
- 200k base + 10% bonus
- love my small team
- get to lead a portfolio of interesting projects
- I'm the most senior/highest performer under my boss
- consulting arm of a non-consulting business. Upper leadership has stifled our growth

Opp:
- closer to 300k + 20%
- I like the team
- work is less interesting but could be a springboard

Bad look? Joining the client is very common and often considered a good move. I'd take the offer.

Director level, so title would be "lateral", but I've only been on the vendor side so far, so this would be great for experience and networking. I just reviewed my confidentiality agreement and it does look like I have some classes to maneuver around carefully

obviously yes - feel the consulting pie is shrinking overall. valuable time for industry expertise if you don’t have that already. depending on what part of pharma, could be a long term growth opportunity with stability and better wlb.

That's what I'm thinking too. I keep hearing clients say they want to internalize everything, so it's already gotten harder to win projects

I'd bounce.

Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
