I got an offer from Grant Thornton for a SALT senior tax position. It’s a lateral move. Is it worth leaving EY for?

Only getting about an 8k raise so not too drastic.

GT just went thru a PE deal and a lot of issues are now being dealt with. I’m in TA (tax) and have seen a ton of activity from GT folks at upper levels as their dreams of ownership are now much different than a few months ago.

What is driving your desire to change jobs? If you hate your current position and the office culture it might be worth the move if you know where you are headed is better via people you know there. If you are just exploring opportunities and not hating it where you are, then $8K and a lateral move isn't worth it at all. You need to ask yourself why you want to start over for a small raise, no new title, and an unknown environment before you make that decision.

I would not go to GT for only 8k unless you are really desperate for money

likesmarthelpful

SA1, 8k after tax is approx $300 every 2 weeks. It is not a lot.

8k is not enough for a lateral move taking a step down from ey to gt. Unless you specifically want to get away from your current team

I’m thinking about making the opposite move. GT is in a bit of flux right now and not a great place to be so I’d consider a different jump

Yup

GT is a disaster at the moment I’d stay as far away as possible. We’ve laid off 200+ from tax in the last year with no end in sight.

If it was the other way round, I would say go for it. Because you are moving to the big 4. The only way, a lateral movement makes sense is if you are changing industries, careers or if you literally hate your current job.

If these aren’t the issues, it’s not worth it unless you can negotiate for more.

I definitely would not take that role if I were you. I have not heard good things about GT lately.

Yeah I’m in SALT and have worked at multiple firms of different sizes, jumped back and forth between industry and pa a few times and now back in industry. Was not even remotely a resume killer even with my last jump from Big 4 to industry where I went from Sr Manager to Director. I still wouldn’t make the move OP is contemplating, but only because the whole PE dumpster fire thing.

Any input is appreciated.

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.
