If I am offered a role that's above my current level and much better pay but I'm really worried I'm going to be overwhelmed would you suggest I try it anyway and see or don't put myself in that position?

1. If someone is offering the role, they believe in you so you should too.
2. Question to your question: How does it fit into the rest of your life? Are you where you want to be and this will enhance everything else? Or will it disrupt the balance in an overwhelming way?

You know your abilities and life needs better than anyone else, but I would echo the sentiment that you must believe in yourself. You will never grow if you don't challenge yourself. Growth is a painful process. Be prepared for problems, take them on, solve them, and turn the problems into lessons. That said, there is nothing shameful about staying well within your comfort zone, doing what you know how to do.

I say go for it. If they are offering you the position that means they think you are more than capable. Sounds like you may be having a bit of imposter syndrome which is totally normal but you should go for it and see what happens. Worst case you hate it and end up looking for something else.

Looking for a PwC referral. My current company has been great but we were acquired by a start up PE firm a year ago and I feel like the acquisition is starting to hinder my growth. I have 3 years experience in strategic sourcing and procurement transformation, initially starting as an intern. I want to continue advancing my career but feel stuck. Trying to give this company a chance but see an opportunity at PWC I think I would be a great fit for. Any advice?
