Received an offer from Booz Allen as a data engineer. I have 2 years of experience with Deloitte and just got promoted to Consultant but with a very little raise bc of COVID (the commercial practice struggled and GPS had to pick up the slack). The offer is about a 30% pay bump. I'm hesitant to leave bc i have an AMAZING network at Deloitte and a couple of good project opportunities on the horizon. Anyone have advice or insight?

I was in the exact same scenario. At D, I had an offer from Accenture (34% raise), I struggled to take the Accenture role because of my network and my team but eventually took it.

I’m now at AWS and my comp is up 126% compared to when I was at Deloitte in 2018.

I'd take the money, build a network at booze and if it doesn't work out, boomerang back leveraging your network you built at deloitte if you want. You wouldn't have interviewed and gotten and offer if you weren't already interested in something else.

Your amazing network will be put to test once you leave. If you want to come back and that network helps, you know it’s amazing as you say it is. If it doesn’t, well then you know it isn’t all that amazing as you thought it to be.

I disagree b1. It says a lot when a company fights for an ex employee back. It means this person is highly skilled and useful.

Salary shouldn't be your only concern. I love Booz and was about to jump ship it a firm that offered me literally 50% more than what I'm making now. I don't plan to jump mainly because I'd have to work harder to get where I am at Booz Allen, and that means mentorship, networking, etc. Trust me, focus on yourself careerwise, rather than just salary. It'll work out in the long term.

If you think Booz Allen will provide you that, then move. If not, stay. There are more factors rather than just salary.

If you want to talk, reach out and I'll give you my experience.

How long did you hold to boomerang back? Also did you get a title up coming back?

Booz Allen is a career dead end. Stay at Deloitte.

Kinda agree/disagree. It's all about how you network yourself.

Hi all. I was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder type 2 and it’s been hard to heal with the ups and downs of a very competitive sales position in the current market. Before taking FMLA for 12 weeks I was a top performer. Any advice from those that also live with bipolar disorder, or advice on a potentially a less stressful position to ease out of sales? I have 7 years healthcare sales and 1.5 years as a MLO.
