Have an opportunity open up at boutique consulting firm that does interesting competitive strategy work. The firm has only 4 partners and they are offering to bring me in just one level below their partner level. The boutique firm has some big f500 clients including a couple of FAANGs. I am currently a senior manager at Accenture - should I consider switching?

This post sounds like you're already considering it. Haha.
Sure, why not. Get an offer and then weigh the 2.

Hahah - true. I need to check on comp but I have worked with these guys before so there isn’t an interview or anything - it’s just me saying I am ready to jump in and the offer will come. However, I don’t want to say I am ready to jump in if I won’t accept the offer lol…hence trying to find out if it is even a good idea or not.

Tl/Dr. If you couldn't get hired as a cloud engineer or cloud consultant - you probably can't become a PM

H1-B transfer question

I recently accepted an offer to join a company (A) . They started my H1-B transfer and I received today the approval notice for the transfer.

However, I accepted last week a (better) offer at another company (B) and they will start soon my H1-B transfer.

I attend to tell company (A) on Monday that I will not be joining them. Will there be any issue with company B filing for a H1-B transfer soon?
