Joined GT few weeks back
Then comes an offer from EY, 20% higher than what GT is paying.😐
What do I do now? Stay with GT or join EY? Is it okay to ditch in just few weeks

have heard GT has less hour goals & better WLB. I am pretty sure that EY might not offer that. Is the 20% raise worth it? Will I be risking too many things making the move.
Any scope of permanent WFH in either of the 2 firms (India office) since that will help me decide
Can someone please help!!
Fyi, I work on Fed P'shps.

Keep in touch with the EY folks. Stay at GT for a year a revaluate, you might end up loving it. If you decide to switch then you could reach out to EY.

If you are young and not tied down with outside obligations go with EY. This will be the best move for your career in the future.

I’ve had many moments in my career where I look back and say I should have stayed somewhere longer and other times where I said I should have left sooner because I knew it wasn’t a team fit and leadership fit for me.
Ask yourself...do you like GT? You’ve been there for a short period, but is something in your gut saying it’s not a fit? Do you like the leadership culture? Not the company culture? What is the leadership culture?
I ask this because you will definitely burn a bridge at GT, especially since you are heading into busy season.
If you answer the questions above and it still just comes down to money, I say, stay in touch with EY and evaluate in a year. Better not to burn a bridge and who knows, you may have positive experiences there that make you want to stay. However, if it’s more than just money and you just don’t feel right there, then see what EY has to say.

People complain about how the firms treat them in one breath and then think it’s okay to take a job offer and leave 2 weeks later for more pay. You reap what you sow

funny

Yeah do what’s best for you but you’re kidding yourself if you think EY is going to give you 20% more AND give you a WLB. Also, some employers won’t hire people who job hop so while you may feel empowered now, it may catch up with you later.

I wrote out this detailed reply but this app is bugged and stuck my comment on another post 😓

Hey, not able to access that link.
Can you try and post it here again or probably just take a screenshot and post it, if that's easier. 🙂

Go with EY. Since you are asking and thinking over it, that means money means more than anything else plus you don’t see yourself in PA for long time. It makes complete sense in your case to go with EY for better pay and be happy at the same time when you join the employer. It will make you give more to EY since you won’t be thinking 20% less pay starting out with GT in the back of your mind. You should also sit down and think of a solid reason of leaving GT so early as team would ask this question. Go as polite as you can. HR might go mad, so think from that perspective. DO NOT tell GT where you are going and for higher pay etc. If they come to know later looking at LinkedIn, doesn’t matter but don’t disclose anything.

Thanks a lot for the advice. Really appreciate it. 👍

Where were you working before joining GT? Which group are you in and what is your end game? Do you see yourself in PA for next 5 to 10 years?

Was working with Deloitte.
Federal Tax Compliance- Partnerships.

I don't really see myself in PA 10 yrs from now. The WLB is pathetic and that is what scares me. I did manage it fine in D, but towards in end it went miserable.
Plus the pay was way toooo less.

So the whole idea of the switch was better pay and probably some WLB.
