I just accepted this offer but am wondering if it was a good one. I only had 1 year of experience at Big 4 (Tech Consulting). Offer from Square was $95k + $70k RSU [across 4 yr vesting schedule] in ATL. Thoughts?

Certainly sounds more interesting if nothing else. I would've taken it

It’s a great offer. Take it, get some actual tech experience, vest your stock, and live it up in ATL. You can always come back to consulting later.

Excellent offer. Anyone who tells you otherwise is wrong

For one year solid but not great

Offer is good! Supplementing big 4 with tech is an excellent combo. If you’re purely motivated by dollars, you could make more sweating it out in tech consulting. But I’d wager you’ll learn a heck of a lot more at Square.

The days of consulting providing better exits the longer you stay are over — tech is on-par or better.

Out of curiosity, what is the role?

Base is a little low. Do you have your MBA?

I had 8 years of experience almost 5 at big 4 when I interviewed at Square. They gave me 115 base and 50k stock options this was late 2019 and I turned them down because they refused to budge. The following year their stock quadruples. For 1 year of experience I think its a good offer. I interviewed for Atlanta location as well.

Congrats! That would be my dream job. Mind sharing what u did at big four and how you leveraged just a year of experience?

Additional Posts in Consulting Exit Opportunities

Taking my shot in tech sales. Consulting was great experience but enjoyed the relationship and BD aspect more and didn’t see myself climbing to partner. Starting in a junior BD Rep role to learn prospecting and earn quota history. Took a big paycut for the potential future earnings as an Account Exec. Did I dun goof? Probably. But I’ll regret it forever if I didn’t take my chance now when I’m still single and young-ish.
