Gut reaction— Pros: better work life balance, more opportunity to develop myself/more room to grow, grow network in local professional community. Cons: less interesting work, lower prestige, less-clear promotion timeline.

Curious about which office you are joining. Your experience here (like many consulting firms) can be highly dependent on your office and which account team you are on.

Your initial list of pro-cons is accurate!

I am a creative designer/animator with a leading medical tech company with 5 yrs of exp and based in NY. I need to switch job now due to being asked to relocate. Started to apply online but any tips/referrals would be really appreciated.

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?
