Bank: better hours, much better comp. SM role will be real heavy on sales. Probably not the best bet going into a recessionary environment, but depends on your career goals too

To avoid big4 really. Seems like tons of needless red tape with limited upside on pay. IB comes with regulatory red tape but at least you can hit a 100% bonus

Probably helpful to list out compensation and practice / division you’d align with. Also, what are you solving for — WLB, career growth, comp?

Unless you’re getting some unique experience from the bank, I’d say Consulting. The pace is faster, you sit in a revenue generating role and you eat what you kill. This is versus a presumably middle or back office role at a bank, where you are a cost center.

I've been interviewing with another company for about a month. The whole process has been 3 interviews over a months time.

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
