Looking for opinions.

Currently M at ACN, 130k base LCOL. Top performer and looking at 2 yrs to SM.

Opportunity is at a stable startup. 5-7% raise in base, higher title, same bonus but equity is the differentiator. Opportunity to get to VP level in 3 years.

Would you take it? And why?

You’re only at 130 as an M? Wow, that’s low

130, clearly not in strategy as that’s about 50K off

Congrats ac 1... wonderful to laugh at comp levels- bet you’re a real joy to work with. And you’re only clearing that base after a few years at M; unless it’s EYP comp structure.

I feel like I can’t answer your question without knowing about the startup, cause that’s kinda the whole ballgame imo. One thing worth thinking about is what your plan is if the startup goes kaput or you hate it after a while. Do you want to boomerang back to acn or permanently pivot to industry?

Yes make VP and then you can always come back to Accenture.
