I am a second year Advisory consultant working at Deloitte. I got an offer to laterally jump ship to Grant Thornton for a 20k salary bump (33%) all while remote and option for another raise if I am asked to relocate to SoCal. Thoughts?

Deloittes advisory practice is more stable than GT’s. IMO when times get tough GT often makes cuts to their advisory practice first.

also, am I really an A1?

The fact that you went through the effort of looking at this new role and doing the interview means you want to leave. The 20k you mentioned just shows that you want to make excuses to leave. So I say go for it. No one can tell you something that you already decided on

I view it as an option based on the current Lower rates of promotion and compensation raises @ D. That does not mean I have made up my mind!

I’d say go ahead now! You can always go back to Deloitte as a boomerang and if you do go back you’ll be at a much higher salary range. Perfect opportunity to try your luck with GT

As other people have mentioned, might be early to jump ship from B4 at second year esp if you’re a high performer and up for senior roles soon.

That aside, where are you currently located? Is SoCal an area you’d want to relocate to. Is relocation optional or will it be an expectation that you move at some point, if so, what would that timeline be (leases and other factors to consider there)

Depending on how many % is your 20k

I'm in my 2nd year at GT advisory. Jumping to a tiny PA firm for family relocation reason tho I absolutely love the people at GT. I think I'm making as much as you atm but I'm getting a 40k pump to the much small firm, also to Socal. My advise is, go for it. You may like it and if yo udont, you can always go back.

Stay where you are I wouldn’t leave big 4 as a second year

$60k to 80k is excellent in this economy. Go for it. Just go back after a few years and you'll get another bump. This or 0-1% raise at DT.

Hi Fishes,
I had given interview for network security architect position in Feb last week. And as per recruiter, I got selected for that role. I have been asked to share the documents on March 1st. I did a few followup for the offer letter update and they asked me 2 wait for 2-3 weeks. And now they are saying position has gone on hold after I did another followup.
Could it be because of expected salary ?
Yoe: 9

Im in a junior position, have excellent feedback, work hard. I make very little $. I had 2 job offers and told my current company I couldn’t afford to stay there.

Should this exempt me from a cost of living increase due the adjusted salary 5 months after we agreed to this?
