Seeking advice: Looking at long term Career salary trajectory between the big 4 vs big tech. Currently a director /sr manager at a big 4 and have an offer from a big tech firm paying 30% more. Long term, i can make partner at my firm in a few years if I stay, which has its benefits. If i go to big tech, im assuming i will be able to make partner salary even sooner. $ aside, not sure about the wlb at big tech. looking for advice from everyone else if i should stay at my firm or take this offer?

Which of the big tech? Their WLB widely varies but even so, much better than consulting’s WLB I would think

It depends on what you enjoy doing - consulting or tech. As a B4 partner you’ll have a lot of flexibility and great trajectory. However, as a director, a few years could turn into a few more years, no matter how competitive you are, you may not get it, part of it is a roll of the dice. Assume you’re at PWC.

If you don’t need the $ and enjoy consulting, I’d stay the course.

Ill be in a client facing role at the tech firm as well. So I'll be doing similar work.. Just for a tech firm. Yeah, becoming a partner isn't a guarantee at a big 4. So why not roll the dice at the tech firm and see how things works there? Guessing i can come back to consulting if i hate it. Im wondering where i will have the best chances of more $$ in the long term

I've been working here for about two years now, and I have to say, I love my job. The company culture is great and the people are wonderful to work with. But recently, I've noticed that my manager has been asking me to do more and more work on my own without giving me any additional compensation for my time. He just keeps telling me that if I want to get ahead, then this is what I need to do.

I'm not sure what to do here—do you have any advice?
