I'm a second year rising senior at EY. Currently have a verbal job offer on the table that I was able to negotiate for around a 30% raise on top of the 7.5% expected for incoming seniors as well as a 10% discretionary bonus. It's a company that is quickly expanding its accounting team rapidly and there seems to be opportunities for growth internally.

For someone that doesn't see himself staying at public past one more year max, and what are some opportunity costs I should consider?

That raise sounds pretty decent. I got a 20% raise from. Staff 2 to senior 1 last year.

One con is that the position title is an accounting analyst which sounds more akin to a staff even if they're compensating me well. I'm wondering if this will play a factor in my ability to get senior level jobs down the line

Yup the accountants above me are investment accountant associates, assistant director/directors
