Hey everyone, I currently work at Deloitte but I'm thinking of leaving to go work for a smaller consulting firm (Alvarez & Marsal) because I would be in a higher position and get paid better, but I'm having second thoughts about leaving because of the structured career path that I have here.
Would it be a short sighted move to do the trade? Do any of you know someone who did this kind of job trade and came out allright?

Much higher earning potential at A&M (for most practices), I’d make the move

What practice? Left a big 4 a few years ago, and wish I left sooner. It’s much more of a meritocracy here compared to the big 4 “structure”, so it’s totally worth it if you are confident in your abilities.

The practice is Infrastructure & Capital Projects, I'm pretty sure that I can tackle the challenge with no major issues

On the same boat! Done all the rounds- waiting to hear back.

That’s reassuring, thanks.

This would be a permanent full-time compared to my current contractor role that ends in March.

Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
