Need career advisories, fishes. Currently at boutique/T3-4 firms (e.g., West Monroe, Slalom, Protiviti), up for Manager this year. Does it worth jumping to T2 firms like S& or EYP at the Senior Consultant level this year? Or just wait to get promoted? Anticipate a 25-30% comp jump but 40-50% more hours (currently about 40, thinking 55-60hrs over there). Long term goal is exit consulting in 5years. Thank you all in advance!

West Monroe takes a very specific type of person to enjoy it, I am not that person but to each their own.

Protiviti, I have loved.

Slalom, I hear amazing things about.

Definitely get the promo first and then lateral over to T2 for pay and prestige bump. Exactly what I did.

Fair point. At S&, do you feel like you have the same progression speed compared to home-grown managers. What are some differences you have experienced if there is any. Thank you!

Worth if it aligns with your exit plan. What is your exit plan?

I’m thinking about tech, but not sure what the market would look like in 3-5 years

I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
