Hi all, I am based in the UK and looking for some advice...

Currently a Senior Consultant within the Technology Consulting team at EY. I have been here just over 2 years, been promoted recently to SC and currently salary is £46,200 (2500 per month). I don’t want to work in consulting anymore and have the following offer on the table:

Google, Contract, 6-months, £1500 a month after tax, Data Management Analyst. My thought process behind applying for and taking this role is.. (1/2 continued)

(2/2) I am hoping to secure a full-time position within the strategy or sales team following this contract. I believe it would be easier to network and secure a referral from within. I realise I am taking a significant pay-cut for a contract position but I still live at home with parents and I don’t have any real ongoing financial obligations. I am 24 years old, joined EY fresh out of university.

Some friends and family are calling me crazy for considering this... keen to hear the opinions of fellow professionals.

Seeking advice: I’ve been working as an analyst at a PE company for 18months 4 days a week on a part time contract and I feel like they are under paying me. I’m earning 42.2K p.a They want me to go full time as I am graduating however I don’t know what the base salary for an analyst with 18 months experience would be. My friend who works as an analyst (with less experience than me) is earning 70K. Would love to get a sense of what I should be expecting / asking for when I go full time. Thanks!
