I was recently offered a role as a consultant with Deloitte. I was told I did not have to relocate but now am told I should relocate for better career advancement. What should I do?

Nobody can tell you what you should do because it depends on too many variables. At the end of the day you need to look at what you value and make the decision. Is your current location important to you? If so, is career advancement more important? Who cares if you advance faster if you hate where you’ll live.

Assuming you’re in oil and gas consulting by looking at where you’re working. What location are they asking you to move? If it’s Houston or Dallas, you should move. Ultimately it will come down to what A1 mentioned. If you’re well settled in San Antonio and career is not a big deal, you can stay put.

If they say they’re paying for my health insurance, does that me that the taxes for healthcare don’t get taken out of my gross salary?

And what’s the culture around negotiation? In the US I would never accept a first offer - is it acceptable to ask for an additional 10%

Hey folks. Question for the majority of us still under the big 3 holding co’s...are raises a thing anymore?

I also recognize being somewhere 5 years is rare these days. The honeymoon period at any agency seems to be 2.5—3yrs before bolting. Not complaining, just asking. Have y’all been getting raises/bumps in any kind of regular cycle? Thx.
