I have an offer from Capco, it was much lower then I expected for the SC level EA at £80k. I'm at a stable role at a bank with a great WLB. My wife is a front line work. So I can take care of the baby, with the next coming soon. My dilemma is, become a consultant or stay where I am at. Consulting looks attractive as I would be speed up my career progression. Though the travel costs and child care does not warrant the base salary Capco Should I take the hit and join capco?

Consulting work is feast or famine. When you are on a project you might find there is no WLB at all and then when the project is over you might find you are on the bench and anxious about getting cut. It's a lot to consider. I'm actually looking to get out and find something more stable, bur I assume you will get some more opinions here. Best of luck@!

I would avoid if you're not getting a pay bump over your current position. I am in the Tech consulting dept at Capco US. Like someone else said, we are mostly client staff augmentation. Promotion opportunities are limited unless you're hustling and bringing in new clients/business for the company.

Thank you all for the help it really did allow me to make the right choice. I did try to negotiate but they would not budge. I let the opportunity go.

Negotiate on the offer. Tell them you need higher comp or you'll stay where you're at.
