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.

Bad? They don’t do this to the other associates (all male).
