I am a M at ACN in tech - closer to SM and interviewing for M at D consulting. This is a lateral jump but the comp is slightly better - +15%. I am leaning to make the move - but are there cons that I need to be aware of?

Stick it out to SM then move. Why start over?

Is that +15% in writing? Not just the base but the bonus part of it as well?

I personally wouldn't lateral as a M that is close to SM for +15%. Too much work to network and prove yourself again.

Yeah it’s almost always better to take the promo first then make moves

Otherwise you’re bumping that promo out by like 2-4 years

SM at Deloitte is similar to SM4+ at Accenture / L4 MD

Join as a M and take the time to build brand / network

I know quite a few examples of people going from M at ACN to SM at D so, at least in Europe, this is not accurate.

Ask for SM at Deloitte otherwise don’t move, you’ll go back to the end of the queue.

Expectations are high for SM at Accenture too - hardest role at many firms due to BD and multi project responsibilities

Get your next title and shop with that in hand. You will have an easier time getting a higher base even if the new firm low-balls you, because their midpoint external offer for SM is probably better than your internal increase from M.

Short term raise but then takes longer for a promotion where the real raise comes

New company also means new network and progression is not guaranteed. Esp not as fast. You are not known, different way of working, you’re competing for promotion with people who have been in the company much longer
