Need advice- I got an offer from boeing for 152.5k as an analyst. I am in post offer background checks. I am worried as they just announced that they are laying off 10% off their workers and just had a hiring freeze (they made an exception for me).
Should I take it? I need to relocate from SD to El segundo on my own.Booz kept saying they will promote me and its been 1.5 years (they are now saying by the end of this year). I had enough. I am currently making 101.7k as a senior consultant at BAH.

Never believe consulting firm leadership — all smoke and mirrors. BUT, considering the situation, do not resign until you are absolutely certain of start (check cleared, start date clearly communicated, etc.).

You would be more valuable to BAH post-Boeing experience if you were to boomerang back.

I directly support boeing so I can give the outside perspective. It depends on the role. Assuming Mill Space based on the location, it isn't a bad place to be. Essentially anything tied to a contract is fine at this point. The other roles are going to be in flux for a while. No one really knows anything at this point.

Never trust BAH leadership. I have seen so many good to great employees leave because things were promised and never delivered.

Booz seems to have a lot of useless CMs… a promo to A would get you around a 5-10% raise at best given your current salary.

All, today I was promoted from senior consultant to associate after almost 2 years worth of promotion promises. They do not know I have another offer ( still awaiting confirmation until background checks have cleared) I went from 101.7k as a SC to 109.9k as an A. Lousy 8%. Boeing offered me 152.5k.

I can only offer my personal story, which is that Booz strung me along with offers of salary increases and better projects that never happened. I'd be very careful with anything not in writing.

This may be a crazy idea.... but can you just work both until you are for sure in your Boeing job?

If it's Boeing, I ain't going.
