I'm a Manager at RSM in consulting, and finding myself presented with the potential opportunity to jump to a very small consulting firm in a leadership position. I'm intrigued by the possibility of growing a small firm and be outside of PA, but not sure if that's a good career move because of the opportunity that the larger PA firm brings.

Anyone done or considered any opportunities like this?

Is there equity involved? Not sure how this is even a question. Im sure its a much smaller pond but what with all the layoffs that just went down at RSM, I would jump at the first good opportunity.

TBD on equity, still too early in the conversation, but it seems to be moving fast so just want to be prepared for decisions and negotiations that are coming. We didn't have many layoffs in our group, so I'm not personally worried about the risk there, though of course the firm-wide comp decisions are not great.

Having moved from a small firm to a big one several years ago, I often think of what could’ve been. If it’s a good move, go for it. You won’t have the national leadership making your decisions for you, sitting by wondering what it to come down.
