Have two very solid offers that I’m entertaining one a director role in biotech and another for a boutique consulting firm. Both higher base (13% increase and target ranges 25-30%) but I have only been at EY for two years. Currently an M3, I feel like there is a lot of unknowns after COVID and that I haven’t fully experienced everything the firm has to offer but at the same time this is a lot of money to give up. Anyone in the same boat or experiencing this dilemma. Any advice would be great.

What do you mean by "everything the firm has to offer"? If you have aspirations of transferring service lines, country/geography, then yeah, EY is awesome for that.

I've been at EY 8 years and have done stints in different countries, cities, and also service lines. Feels like I've had 3 or 4 different careers.

Sure

I would also think where would each place take you in say next 2+ years? What do the skills, network and trajectory at each look like?

That’s a valid point. Director at Biotech spot is a new role so career profession is senior director / site controller which I’m not very interested in but the money and RSUs are very good. Boutique firm would be helping grow a new practice and vertical but less money than biotech.

You only get to leave EY once, make it count and make sure you’re leveraging the name. Also, if you’re truly willing to leave, give EY the opportunity to give you a raise to keep you.

The 13% is not much to chew on except for timing. Gotta believe next year’s raises do that. Ans Corp raises likely will be less. Bonus is potential - can’t comment on their structure, what your chances are as new person (esp building a practice).

So I would say think about the longer term game - what do you want to be doing.

RSUs on a startup could be great - if you have inclination to gamble this could be a great time. Big risk/big reward op.
