I’ve been thinking about making a career move to a partnerships / sales role for someone like an Accenture or a Deloitte. Anyone have experience working for these type of companies?

Most of my background is with fast paced startups, so I’m curious to hear pros / cons from people who’ve spent more time in a larger company like this.

I’ve spent about half my career in more fast-paced startup-y environments. The other half I’ve been at big F250 media companies. Big companies have a ton of process and bureaucracy that is frustrating if you’re “grab the bull by the horns” kind of person. But, you do get the feeling of stability and can often spend more time focusing on the core competencies of your job. If you love what you do, prefer narrow focus, and are ok with rolling your eyes with the corporate politics, big brands are just fine.

Comcast 1 is spot on. I’ve worked in both. I just left a job at a company I joined when it was a startup to go to another startup because the old startup was getting bigger and being extremely bureaucratic. I don’t like rules - I am not a crazy rogue person either - I like the freedom to build and grow something amazing without having to bow to the masses (that sounds a lot worse than I intend haha).

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE

Recently promoted senior and the raise was surprisingly higher than expected. I had applied to a position before knowing about the promotion and raise.

Not sure how to handle the situation, any advice is much appreciated!
