Congratulations, take it

70% sounds compelling enough for me, if you’re really interested in the industry I’d take it and leave. I don’t think it’s going to make it harder for you to come back people always come and go.

EY partners will see you as a client. Just leave in good terms.

I'm the outlier here but I don't think you should take it. If you had 3-5 years of consulting under your belt instead of 1-2 then I would say take it. This is based on the limited context of the role and your overall experience.

Take it. Leave on good terms.

Take it - and as others say, don’t burn any bridges - consulting’s firms always consider (re)hiring people from industry and the expectation is that while working at client you’ll be favorable towards your firm

Take it, but realize managing 4-5 people will be a big step up from your responsibilities as a staff. Read books on leadership and management to prepare yourself. Good luck!

@C1 Is it generally frowned upon to leave for a current client?

No, I’ve been on engagements where this happened. If the MSA permits it, you’re good.

70% is a lot but I am also staff. Therefore this bump could be reached by climbing the consulting latter as well :)

How much was the jump from? 60k to 120k?

like

Take it

Most MSA have an anti poaching clause so it is actually a violation for the client to even offer you a job. It would be interesting to see how you got that far into a process without interviews, discussion, etc. Either way, both you and the client have already crossed some lines so at this point you should just go through with the decision that you have obviously already made.

Go through the proper channels in your firm if you are planning to accept (project and account leadership). The firm isn’t going to care if you leave on good terms - it could lead to more business down the line - but they usually want to know this stuff ahead of time

Take it and goooooooo

But a 70% bump!

Sweet Christmas! Take the 70% and run to the nearest exit!

Thank you all for giving me advice on this matter. I would now feel more comfortable taking this offer :)
I haven't made up my mind yet, but I think I will probably accept it.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year.
