I’m a business consultant in Finance competency focusing on ERP transformation and operating model design. I believe i should be on track for promotion in the fall... should i lateral to a T2 (S&, LEK, OW). Long term goals range from working at Start-ups to corporate strategy to growth equity

Any move to a T2 or something that is better than EY consulting brand will help your career is my opinion. Brand does matter. So if this move can help you get better opportunities I’d do it. Time it right, get the M first unless you really want to leave soon

And if i lateraled, id start over as a level 1 associate

An associate at S& makes more than sc/m at EY, and the perceived vale from T2 will be much better, it’s a no brainer, given if you’ve already secured the offer.

LEK opens all of these doors for you. The catch is if you come in, you will start with new grads but will have a faster promotion timeline if you do perform well

I’m currently a 2nd year associate in commercial finance. I’ve realized I don’t enjoy a a strictly transactional practice. I enjoyed litigation matters as a summer (particularly the adversarial nature). Also, love talking and advising clients. I don’t want the litigation lifestyle and appreciate the in-house opportunities of transactional. Assuming that I could switch (or lateral), I’m thinking I may enjoy employment (and the ability to defend and train/advise). I appreciate any insight.

Is this FOMO or is there real opportunity here?

Hi, I am considering a career pivot to creative resources/operations, but am wondering what I should do in order to break in.

I'm in finance/tech FPA, looking to go back to the defense industry for a 25% increase in TC. But wanted to see if I should leverage the new salary with current company to see if they'll match.

Background: got a promotion at current company that didn't come with sufficient increase . After stating my case I was told it would be evaluated next October, which is what prompted the initial job search.

Current TC 103K [88/15], offer 125k base [+discretionary bonus].
