Help me evaluate my options:
Currently: entry-level Position looking at promotion next 6 months at IT practice of BCG. Total expected comp. ~110k (90 fixed+20% variable) EUR
Offer: ACN tech Manager position with total comp of 110k (98k fixed+14k variable) plus signing and retention bonus of 14k

I’m considering because of improved wlb, culture and less stress…

What are the responsibilities for managers? Outlook afterwards?

What is your ideal exit from consulting, and when? If you plan on leaving in 2 years, it might be better to stay at BCG for the better brand and demonstration of longer tenure rather than jumping to Accenture, unless 2 years of managerial experience is critical to your next role.

But if you plan on staying in consulting long term, the pay ceiling at BCG is higher than at Accenture, which also makes staying a good option.

So in sum: Stay at BCG 😁

You are an Associate and getting a Manager level position at ACN? You will be responsible for delivery and that is not necessarily less stressful.

entry level at the IT practice (Platinion) means you need at least 2 years of experience normally. Good point though

Haha, need to update: plus for staying is an extra 4w of salary (from before last raise, but still) on top of bonus

So back in July I went out for a new position at my small company that was rapidly expanding (Account Manager).

The new Account Manager had no customer service experience within our niche industry. I instead had to help help him with all customer service issues.

I feel like I am being taken advantage of. ADVISE APPRECIATED.
