Is it worth a lateral move to Accenture for the same base pay? There’s a nice signing bonus. Feels more like I’m changing projects than companies. Long term goal is still to exit consulting so I don’t see the network being as important as for other consultant lifers. Trying to save up for a house and this is the only reason why I’m considering this offer

You'll have to climb the ladder again and develop relationships at new firm to get paid more. But if you think you can, go for it.

Personally, I think it's too big of a hastle without a significant pay bump. How big is the signing bonus? :) Maybe negotiate?

like

That’s what I’m negotiating. It needs to be sizable for me to make the jump

Would you lose out on any vesting at Pwc? Feels like a lot of hassle and risk, but if the signing bonus is substantial than maybe

like

Good point. I’m not fully vested so I’ll need to put that into my comp model

Idk if it is worth lateraling without a bump in comp unless you 1.) are about to be counseled out or 2.) hate your time at PwC

However, if the signing bonus is >$10K then it might change my answer!

like

I don’t hate my time here and I’m actually in a good place with my current team. It’s just getting my repetitive and I need a change of scenery with the right comp increase. Saving for a house right now with my SO. It’s more $$ driven decision than anything else

Depends entirely on size of bonus. If it’s a 50k sign on, then yes, if it’s 10-20, then probably not. You’ll be giving up a lot to get the post tax of a bonus that is gonna cost you a transition.

like

Agree. Asked for more. Not worth the lateral move otherwise

Yeah not worth it unless the sign-on bonus is like 100k.

like

Yeah that all makes perfect sense, I actually really like my team as well and am only passively looking, so it would similarly have to just make too much sense financially not to pull the trigger. Best of luck and be interested to know what they came back with!

A question from a youngster. Is working at a big big company with slightly low pay better or working at a much smaller company with higher pay better?

In the future, after a few years, let’s say I’m at a small company and want to switch to big big company, will the “small names” hurt my chance to get into the big doors?

I mean big big company is like 10x bigger than the small one if this was a factor. Assume everything else the same, WLB, commute, teams, etc.

Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?
