Should I switch roles? Currently a Senior BI Developer for one of the top 3 cruise lines - salary is $123k with a 4% end of year bonus. Have 7 years experience in BI and MBA specializing in BI / Analytics. Have a BI Manager role opportunity with Amex - Salary is $108k and 12% target bonus ($120,960 overall comp). Tried negotiating higher salary but they say they already moved it higher for me & refuse to budge.

Amex skimps. Try Accenture or an analytics boutique and you could probably hit ~140-160k

like

Varies across different projects, just like any large consulting firm. Better than Big4 though

Reasons I want to work for Amex:
- Rated as top 10 company to work for

- Role fit - mostly sql and tableau with a few direct reports. Fully expect to do very well

- Wlb - would like to start a family in the next couple years (although wlb @ cruise line is very good too)

- Manager title - never held this title on resume, so opportunity to crack into other leaderships roles
Lack of career growth options @ cruise line where it feels like I'm stagnant. No opportunity for a Manager title with direct reports

- Opportunity to switch fields out of a 100% discretionary income driven industry (cruise lines), although Amex does have some dependency on hospitality, there's diversification (i.e. hotels, airlines etc)

Based on the $108k, and my expenses, I would have positive cash flow on a monthly basis, so would be able to keep food on the table & pay bills. My concern is if I start at $108k, and with merit raises of 3-5%, it could take 4 years to be at the same base salary (although overall comp will be higher with bonus). Additionally, even if I'm promoted in the organization and find other roles, will I be pegged to that $108k salary?

Would you make the move if it shows career progression on paper but monthly salary is backwards? Salary isn't everything, but it's a huge motivator for me.

Nope

108 is low to me, especially after 7-8 years of work experience. Also in what exact ways this opportunity would be a stepping stone for other leadership opportunities?

They also pitch internal mobility as a selling point where managers throughout the organization are focused on developing their people to prepare for future roles.

Hopefully this is the case as I see the company as a place where I'd like to stay for the long-term.

Is it more worth it to go into FDD at a regional firm now, or hope that my current big 4 will transfer me come spring 2021?

I'm kind of in the mindset of only doing FDD at big 4, otherwise I'll go straight to industry. Am I being too down on mid-market FDD experience and the related exit ops?

Also, I can't go the route of doing FDD at a different big 4. Already got rejected by all of them cause I'm not in audit (but have CPA).
