Yes if pay is enough. I’m doing it for like a 40% raise. So in this market the money should be spectacular.

STM1, are you going to industry? Would you mind sharing some details?

If the raise is big and you plan on staying at least another year, yes.

I am not sure it is a correct choice because most people say move, dont wait because they should have promoted you. Nothing guaranteed at CR for next year promotion😂

You’ll get the raise but then they’ll eventually even you out

Yes but this is a LATERAL MOVE. So let’s say you’re a first year senior and you move to another firm for more money and that’s already at the higher end you could be stuck at the same salary before Manager. And that’s assuming you have your CPA. Many seniors don’t have their CPA and is most likely still trying but struggling to manage all and eventually not get it all.

Only if you switch LoS, if you want to stay in the same LoS switch to a B4 or boutique firm

It doesn’t look good on your resume to go from GT audit to RSM audit for instance

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!
