Help me decide which offer to take!
Offer 1: 115k base + 5k sign on. They have an annual performance bonus. Advisory work. SC level.
Offer 2: 105k base + 5k sign on. They have quarterly bonuses. Recruiter said they make around 15-20k in bonus in the year. Advisory work. SC level.
Both small firms

Easy - Option 1. Higher base + more PTO.

likesmart

20 days pto has a significantly bigger impact on my well being. This would probably be my determinant! 🤣

like

Completely agree with 5 days more

Offers seem pretty comparable. I would make decision based on non-offer related factors:
- what optionality do both create for your next role and the role after that
- what is development and promotion path?
- do you see differences I'm the types of mentors you'd create in each?
- type of work, etc and alignment with your goals

Thank you 😊

I always higher base unless the quarterly bonus is based on your individual metrics and not the firms.

I actually asked this and they said it’s based on both individual and firms performance

Make sure to compare other benefits too. Health insurance/401k/PTO/etc.

I did!
They both match about the same 401k
Offer 1 has 20 days PTO
Offer 2 has 15 days PTO

Also, do you guys think theses are good offers for NYC?
Im an SC at D in Advisory (it audit) with 3 YOE

Thank you 😊

I would go with Option 1 as well. The higher base is more important, and it offers more PTO. The second firm seems kind of cheap in my opinion. Unless you just liked the people a lot more and could see yourself staying longer and being promoted faster at the second place.

Second one is Slalom?

Slalom doesn’t give quarterly bonuses at SC level

I’m all for higher base and more PTO

Option 1. Higher base and PTO.

Did you tell both firms that you had a comparable competing offer and to come back and their best and final offer for you?

I did, this was the highest for both lol
