I currently make 95k as a first year consultant at a not well known consulting firm (started in May). I worked in financial services for 4 years before that.

Is it worth trying to jump to a company like Deloitte, KPMG, McKinsey, Accenture, etc?

Editing to add that my top two priorities are money and professional growth. I feel stuck in my current role and don’t really feel as if i have gained any form of skillset or knowledge. The paycheck (was making 50k before) is good which is why i stay.
