I got a job offer from GuideHouse and they are give me 20% more than I make currently. I don’t know if I should the job given the negative comments on here. I worry about the WLB and being thrown into crazy projects - generally being blindsided. They are also offering a sign on bonus too. And it is a Sr consultant role. Any tips from anyone who has made the switch from ACN to GH?

So 1st things 1st....let’s make sure we have this right...your question is if you should take a job offer that pays $120k and you currently make $100k because of WLB and they are offering a sign on bonus? Listen...get that money 💰 and figure out the way when you get there. Money gives you options...and if money is not your motivation still GET THAT BAG!

How much is your sign on bonus?

Second this. How much is your sign on?
