Mistake is not leaving the big 4, but joining them

like

No. Take the job and ask for more $. You live in CA. Also ask for $20k sign on bonus as you'll be leaving your bonus from this year. Go big or go home.

likehelpful

I’d do it. Probably less stressful and more life rewarding than big4.

Also how are you getting that much as a senior? Experienced hire? How many years?

like

I'm anxious. I want to take it because of the role itself, leading other consultants, but would i be making a mistake if I leave big4???

Not worth a 15K bump

M1- once you reach a certain salary, money is no longer the priority for some, but rather the roles/responsibilities..

So 30k overall if bonus pays out as expected? Sounds like a good opportunity if you're certain the risk is well-researched.

Remember, boomerangs. Leaving and coming back is a thing.

Ask for a sign on and and $165k

And yes take it

Leading a department? Do you think you have the capabilities to be a people manager. Remember that is very different from me being a senior associate. Managing people is a massive amount of work. Some people love it and some hate it.

The money doesn’t seem that much.

But if you aren’t close to promotion and you don’t enjoy your work go for it. But be aware that if it’s a small company your promotion chances are also going to be massively reduced unless they are in intense growth.
