Duff & Phelps I’m currently working at DP Portfolio Valuation as a Senior Associate (2.5 years experience). Recently I got offers from Big4 valuation team and Houlihan Lokey (salary raised 40%-45% with sign on). Which one should I choose?
If I choose to stay at DP, I might get promoted in the next 6mo to Vice President. Is it worth to take a move now?
