Interviewed at EY for SC, almost 40% inc. in pay. Then I realised SCs are basically like Cs at D. Is a lateral move worth it?Or should I negotiate for an M role (as I’m up for SC at D this summer)

You’re up for SC, but you’re not actually an SC.

You’re a Consultant who hopes to make SC but may very well not.

A 40% pay bump is a lot- do you want to exit to industry within the next few years though? Maybe think about whether being an SC/M at D or an SC/M/SM at EY works better for you, dependent on when you think you’d leave?

like

Can you elaborate? Doesn’t an M in Big 4 open the same exit opportunity doors regardless? I know Consultants have snobbish views within the Big 4, but does industry?

It’s not exactly a like for like match. Deloitte C would map to high A/low SA, and SC would map to high SA/low M. Unlikely that they’d take you in as a manager from consultant.

So typical for delusional Ds thinking their grades are one level above everyone else 🥱🙄

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise.
