Is it worth to take a step back to get more consulting experience for the long run?

Currently S3 in international tax, up for promotion next year but the team is heavily focused on compliance and kinda have to fight for consulting work; got an offer from another B4 as a S1 with $95k base salary(NYC) but the team is mostly doing international consulting, would it be worth it to take the offer if I foresee myself in PA in at least 5 years?

That’s kind of bizarre. Have you pushed back that your offer should be for S3 or even manager? I wouldn’t take it personally. Also in international tax

Depends on projects, we are generally 50/50 on compliance and consulting

No. I would push to get more consulting work until you reach manager and then jump if they don’t resolve your problem. I was in a heavy compliance focused group and pushed hard for consulting but nothing happened, once I made manager I took the title and left.

Appreciate your advice!

Personally, I will not. Also the pay is not high. I think there are better options for you. I just changed my job from more compliance to pure consulting with same title and more pay. Most importantly, my supervisor is happy with my performance. Learning curve is not that hard. With compliance, you already are family with all the terms but now just need to apply those concepts in a different way

Thank you! This is really helpful!
