Hi all, I’m at a Big 4 with 3 YOE, joined as a Grad. Have received an offer for a 20-25% increase for a similar role, but more specialised team in a firm like Accenture/Capgemini/Baringa

My concerns are:
- It’s a lateral move, so feels like it‘ll set me back some years to reach the next grade.
- Having to rebuild network, and more specialised work that I’m not sure I’ll love. I enjoy the current work I’m doing

Would you take the pay bump? Or should I wait a year or 2? Any help appreciated!

Chase the money. You’re young. 25% lateral move means your currently underpaid. You’ll eventually price yourself out of your position because you cost so much.

Can you please clarify your question

I would take the money. You could stay in the role doing the work you love and never be promoted or get promoted still making less than that 25% increase. Yes you would build a new network but that's an expansion which is good. The only thing to check is company culture ...is it good or bad because you don't want to waste your time going somewhere that you will leave. Good luck!

At your age, I would take the bump. If it is with a firm like ACN, you’re not downgrading per se. They are on par with B4.

Just weigh your options
