Is Risk & Reg too specialized? Debating whether to try and make a switch to a different team like deals, FDD or restructuring while I’m still only a senior since the exit options in risk & reg seem somewhat narrow (risk manager or regulatory office?)

I would agree the exit opportunities are low; but in my mind, this translates to a good business case for consulting. In other words, our partners have a ton of opportunity to sell different service offerings, given a lot of what we do isn’t generally handled by in-house risk functions.

Most of the people I work with end up going to some risk or compliance function at Citi. If you want more diverse exit opportunities moving groups may be a good move. I also feel like they are cheapening the legacy FS R&R group with all the internal audit and compliance testing people they moved in from assurance. It is only a matter of time before they converge salaries.

Question for the group: Working at a B4. Currently at pre-mob, and will be doing a tour for about a year. Do Big Four automatically promote while you are gone? For example, if I’m a senior 1 when I leave, am I Senior 2 or Senior 1 when I get back? Has anyone had these conversations with HR? Looking for advice about making sure I don’t have to completely repeat a year because of deployment

Without looking, I was recently offered a role at another company for about 30% more salary and 10x the amount of stock options, but I have only been at my current employer for less than a year and feel really guilty about leaving so soon into my tenure. My current employer might match salary, but there's no chance the options get matched.

I'm wondering if I should take the new position, even after less than a year at my company? I can't shake my guilt even though it seems like a no-brainer.
