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.

Could you provide more detail about WM? Also, is protiviti really in the same playing field as WM and Slalom? (genuinely asking)

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

Should I keep my new job or boomerang back to my old job? The new job pays 50K more base, 25K more bonus and I get 40K a year consulting for the old job so around 115K difference in cash (not counting equity).

So why even consider going back to the old job? The new job keeps me busy 12+ hours a day while the old job is a coast at 1-2 hours a day max.

My idea is not to enjoy the free time and sit on *ss, but to figure out side gigs, passive income streams or even start a startup. (continued)
