I applied to a job thinking it was account management role for c3.AI. Turns out it is sales engineering role with zero delivery ownership. I continued through the process and got an offer that is 30% above my current base. I work tech consulting, mostly healthcare platform implementations. This role will be quite a shift from my current skills. I like the money, but not sure if the move is right. Any reasons other than compensation to consider or reject the offer?

Money is the worst reason to consider an offer, that should be an after affect,

Only reason to consider an offer are the work, the people, the culture, the opportunities and the reputation

If you hop jobs you will almost always make more but there is absolutely no one in this forum that isn’t in the top 5%

If you are purely money motivated you will never be happy

Use the offer as leverage to get paid more in your current role, then go find a role you actually want.

So I assume you are probably making somewhere around $170-180k now, right? While I doubt Deloitte would move you all the way up to $255k, if you are a high performing manager and your practice doesn’t have a big bench at your level right now, I could see you getting a bump to somewhere around maybe $200k. That is near the top end of the scale for Managers at EY in a LCOL location. Deloitte should be higher since you have that extra level between Staff and Senior. Perhaps you could talk with a trusted mentor about your options given that they’d know your practice, the firm, and your performance better than any of us on FB.

Bottom line, though, Is don’t move for the money if you don’t like the job

How much of the offer is stock?

Your salary will grow fast at Deloitte if you do a good job and get promoted so you can close the gap relatively quickly. I would focus on what makes you excited the most. Did you make a decision?
