I have an offer at a startup / scale up. Head of strategy reporting to chief growth officer. I will have direct reports, access to senior leadership, and be able to set the strategy but also execute it. It’s by far better than the opportunity I have at Accenture at the moment. And I think it will strengthen my CV more than if I stay at Accenture and even get promoted. But pay is equal maybe less when factoring in bonus. Always heard you should get pay bump when leaving. What should I do?

Wow, it’s amazing that you got an offer as “head of strategy “ …. I wish that startup all the luck in the world.

Do you actually own the strategy?

I say do it. You shouldn’t expect a pay bump going from consulting to a startup

I’m assuming there’s stock options in the offer that would more than make up for the pay if your strategy is successful.

Is Accenture a stable company right now? If it’s not, you’re not getting much out of staying.
