I just got an offer from another large advertising agency. The increase is about 50% plus a title bump. How bad is it if I accept and then turn it down. I am in the running at big4 and other tech cos?

By big4 do you mean KPMG, Deloitte, EY and PWC? What type of job/career are you looking to have? That answer will change the advice you are looking for

You have to be okay with permanently burning the bridge with that place (and potentially other places some of those people end up)

Update: I decided to turn it down. Don’t want to set a precedent for the rest of my career. The money will come today or tomorrow. Willing to bet on myself to convert 1 out of the 5 upcoming interviews.

Yeah 2/4 there plus the likes of amazon, LinkedIn, Fb,etc. And I work in Data Analytics. Currently my role is similar to consulting which i really like. But hoping to stay in the realm or work a Data Analytics role in a tech firm. However nothing is guaranteed with those companies and this one is in the bag

Yup. Permanent bridge burn. But if you're looking to exit the industry somewhat, may not matter. I know people that did it and never looked back

I’d do it if you’re exiting the advertising industry for consulting for sure.

Man, I really need to get into data analytics... 😂

Kind of the opposite of the One Show I guess. Please share because I cannot fathom how the dry eyes, eye drop commercial I just saw even got presented to a client.
