Looking for some advice. Currently just got promoted to senior consultant at a big4 (2.5yoe) and received an offer for a boutique consulting firm. Compensation is 40% more and it seems I’ll have more opportunity for growth at this new company. I want to eventually break into tech so I’m not sure if going to a boutique firm is the right choice. Hoping to hear some of your experiences. Thanks

Nothing is guaranteed in your journey to break into tech, but a 40% bump is a great step in setting comp benchmark for future expected opptys going forward. Does this boutique firm do any tech co engagements? Or do you have the ability to position yourself as a thought leader in an area related to topics tech co’s care about? (market evaluation, customer segmentation, competitive analysis, product launches, innovation, etc)

Thanks for your advice, I agree there are no guarantees so at times it feels like I am waiting on an opportunity that doesn’t even exist yet (Of course, it’ll require hard work and me actively seeking the opportunities I want).

The work I’d be doing is ServiceNow so not much strategy. More delivery/implementation and program management.

100% do it
