I have just been promoted to Mgmnt Consultant in Accenture but have a BCG offer in another country. I’m happy at ACN and have a really good WLB and growth opportunities even if the salary is not as good as BCG’s… not sure if I should swap companies and move countries just to be able to work at a top tier firm.. any advice to help my decision?

I’d move to BCG if you don’t mind the hours….simply for the prestige and the personal location change. Depends on what you value though and if you want wlb and comfort

From where are you moving? US to Madrid? Wouldn’t do that if you are dependent on a us visa and want to be there long term

If you were unsure why waste both of your time getting to the final rounds?

Moving to an entirely new country is a huge commitment. If I wasn’t a native, have family there, or wasn’t already planning on moving to said country, then I wouldn’t take the offer

I would move and work for BCG. That prestige is worth it. I would also move only because living in another country is absolutely mind blowing from a personal level.

Assuming you’re single, can easily relocate between countries, can speak Spanish and are wanting / open to working in another country.

I’d caution about it because you’re heading into the hard mode: your new job probably require long hours yet in the limited personal time you have to deal with a lot more: a new environment means apartment hunting, shopping for new supplies, making new friends. There will be moments of regret or even more because you are currently happy at your job.

If it’s the overseas location you like, can you ask for that at Accenture? And also ask for a pay raise? Problem solved.

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
