I've been at Deloitte S&O for almost two years. Just got an offer from BCG, but the salary is $5k less. Do I take the offer?

Based on just the responses from your fellow Deloitters, I would take the initial paycut to get into a better culture.

Outside of that, salary isn't the entire compensation package. AFAIK BCG has a great health plan and the exit opportunities will be better.

Those aren't all the factors you should consider but maybe people that are more useful than the previous posters can add some additional points

like

You should take it probably.
1) can negotiate 5k signon
2) better salary progression
3) bigger bonus potential
4) better benefits (eg free healthcare) that might actually make your net higher than before

More specifically, it isn't the $5k that is holding me up. I am up for promotion next year and salary could go up significantly at that point andddd accepting the BCG offer would be a career reset of sorts..I would be joining at the level the people who just graduated from college.

Unless you presently have a 2-year path to 150k, you should take it. AND exit opps are great, even at the Associate level

No one is talking about how OP is unproven at BCG, but had a reputation at D. OP could potentially fail. It's a risk you should factor in.

I took a $15k pay cut to come to BCG. So yeah, id do it for $5k.

I'd take it OP if it's a consulting role at BCG...the culture difference between the firms more than makes up for $5K in all honesty

Why?

If real, probably taking a step backward in title and progression

Please tell me you tried negotiating. I'd be disappointed if you didn't even think of trying.

It can happen, McKinsey offered me 45k under what my then salary was. I still considered it carefully because of the exit opportunities.
