Option 1: Stay at Deloitte. Raise to 135k base, 10k spot retention bonus, and likely high end of bonus/salary increase with promo from SC to M (GPS)

Option 2: Senior Program Manager, fintech startup w/ 600 employees, 140k + 15k variable + approx 20k equity vesting annually, with significant upside.

Cool new role, but love my team and momentum at D. Leaving is definitely the right choice... isn't it?

Deloitte is a sinking ship. Leave while you can before other jobs are snagged up. I left a few months ago and haven’t looked back.

Deloitte has a huge tech practice. Not sure about PwC and EY.

No amount of $ can make up the Deloitte reputation 🤔 Stick around 👍

As a Deloitte alum - the name brand is meh, at best. It’s also harder to leave Deloitte with a decent exit opp than a max security prison escape.

Interesting, what's your reasoning?

There’s no point in staying in consulting guys. Consulting is just a training ground so that you can have the prerequisites to exit to a tech job paying twice as much with less hours, no travel, less stress, no cpe, and better advancement opps. Big 4 / acn can’t compete with tech salaries or lifestyle period.

It depends. What does the fintech do? Not all fintech companies / startups are the same.

The valuation / upside for the below Fintech specializations wildly vary.

1. BNPL is hot af right now, but it's also a very competitive environment

2. Payments processing is dominated by the likes of PayPal, Stripe, Adyen, and Square

3. Open banking is incredibly hot right now but has issues around ecosystem maturity

All three of these specializations wildly vary in terms of competition, upside, and compensation. These three are only a few to give you an example. So without more info, can't really provide the best advice on what you should do.
