I was in this situation recently. My best advice is there is a reason you resigned. Normally because some sort of development or recognition hasn’t been there. If you really think this is a changing point then it’s fair game but always question why you wanted to leave in the first place. Why weren’t you given your worth without having to leave? That’s how I felt anyway.
If the money isn’t a lot, you really should do some reflection on why you’d stay. If it doesn’t work out at the Big4 you will easily be able to get a job elsewhere. Always worth a try as you more regret the decisions you don’t make. Good luck deciding. Have you had any more thoughts?
Never ever accept counter especially in scenarios like yours.
Thank you so much. Really. That was very helpful and motivating.
Move on. You see what it had to take to get paid your worth and you already know how Cap is about bonuses. You won’t see the full 14%. 10K will lock you to them for a year while they can let you go at any time without you having a next move in place.
KPMG saw your worth with their offer and will be a step forward for your career as you stated. Also there’s more room for pay to increase. Cap’s raises aren’t the best. You’ll fall behind the pace of market pay again. Plus, once at one Big 4, you can move easily between the Big 4 and increase your pay even more. Cap won’t match the pace.
Admittedly Cap has interesting tech projects, however, I can’t imagine that other firms don’t have the same. The career progression and everything else listed above outweighs that very weak argument, wouldn’t you agree?
Congrats!
You’re welcome!
I left Cap for KPMG and have zero regrets. Part of my reason for leaving Cap was the pto and promo raise for SC->M…8% just didn’t cut it.
what about the PTO ?
100% move to a Big4 if you’re looking for brand name. I just made it to FAANG and Im confident it’s about the type of exposure, projects, people you get to work with at such orgs.
Just go straight to KPMG. You'll regret it if you accept a counter offer. No matter how much is the raise, they are gonna see you differently from now on. Just don't look back.
What group in KPMG did you leave cap for lol tryna see how the hell I can leave when all my exp is in digital transformation PMO 😂😒 trying to get to another group in cap if possible.

Staying rarely works out for you or the company
Maybe I'm a contrarian, but I have accepted counter offers twice in my career. Both times I left within the next 12 months (largely Bc the original issues for my desire to depart remained). Yet, I am happy I did. Both offers essentially elevated me up a level and was my new basis for seeking new opportunities.
Said differently, there are two advantages of taking the counter.
1. Things get fixed and you are happy you stayed
2. They don't, but you get a nice pay raise year 1 and then find a new gig for an additional increase year 2
Good luck
Cap used to be b4 (EY) so culture shouldn't be too different?...
That was 30 years ago. That’s a lot of time for the culture to evolve.
