I got hit up to interview for an SC role at Accenture for Cyber. Currently a second year consultant at D for cyber. I like my team/coach/leadership a lot and I wasn’t planning to exit anytime soon, although, I’m also not anticipating making SC this year. Does it make sense to always interview for these opportunities and see if anything comes out of it?

Go for it. I interview no less than three times a year, and often more

Two reasons:
- interviewing is an important skill and needs practice
- you never know when a mundane recruiter email turns into an exciting opportunity you couldn't have planned for

Yes, always interview when offered a step up. It will bolster your confidence and let you know your market worth.

Never hurt to interview. It's just good practice IMHO.

But don't change just for a title, I wouldn't consider changing unless I got a significant bump (25-40%) for the right opportunity I would even consider a "demotion" in title.

Do it

Have the recruiter call to check the role, title, compensation and location. Always have those calls, as they take 15-30 min and require no preparation. Then if the role/etc sound good, proceed to interview. Don't waste your time for roles that are too far from what you want.

Thanks for the tips everyone. I haven’t been in consulting long and this is the first time it has come up :)
