Have a formal offer at Citi for 120K as an AVP in the NY office. Currently making 92K at my current role where I feel there’s not much room to grow anymore. Is this a fair offer? I currently WFH pretty much full time at my current role which has been amazing, but it seems like Citi would require me to be there 2-3 days in the office per week - and this is something I’m very hesitant about. Thoughts on how to approach this?

I would go ATK or OW, probably base my decision on how I felt about the people at both. ATK will do a lot of retail, procurement, ops, OW more financial. S&O turns me off a little based on recent re-org, not sure if it still offers the same bredth, but honestly unclear.
Used to work at ATK and definitely agree that people there are really friendly and you’ll typically have great project teams/interesting projects
Go to OW. Happy to talk through details over DM. OW offers better development, coaching, mentoring, and project choice. You will make more money and better exit opportunities for the rest of your career. The promotions at OW are faster as well.
A lot of misinformation from someone outside of the firms you are considering. Please ask these questions with the firms and gather the information independently
Thanks everyone for your input! I've decided on OW and looking forward to entering the industry :)
Welcome! And hope you’re okay with paper straws
By S&O, do you mean Deloitte S&O? If yes, I would say pick OW over that - and this is coming from a Deloitte S&O alumni. Had a good time at Uncle D, but comp is horribly below market (starting base was 72.5K at the time and no performance bonuses at all until you finish your third year at the firm), and with the re-org, true strategy work was scattered across portfolios and horrible tough to find (eg., if you land in Enterprise Ops or Core Biz Ops, you basically will be doing PMO or SAP / Oracle implementation, no strategy).
Glad to help! I’m glad I was able to land at Google in Strategy & Ops, but I know how rare it is from Deloitte and how hard you have to really hustle to find the development opportunities that prepare you for this type of role (eg., Corporate Strategy in a top company), which it sounds like isn’t as tough at OW. And again, comp difference is huge :) for the hours we all work / worked in consulting, you should really maximize your pay!
Yes I am currently a senior at semi/nontarget right now.
Gotcha. Wasnt sure based on the current title. I personally think it's based on network and who you have talked to that you enjoyed the most
