I don't know your situation obviously but if you are still at BMS, stay there unless it's absolutely unbearable. Move around internally if you have to. Pharma can be hard to get into and if you only did 2 years before jumping to another company, people might wonder why. Also, if you leave, don't burn bridges on the way out.

What level and service line were you at the big 4, and what percent salary increase did you get once you left? I’m a S1>S2, and the offers I’m seeing are around 10%-15% higher, which feels a little low. But maybe I’m being unrealistic.
