Definitely go. Unless you think you could land a better offer any time soon ? Also don't forget the 4 months on bench, you've already taken a big utilization hit.

Bcg1. Total comp, u mean base and bonus only or adding more to that? 2 points - 1) this is not a p&l role, an internal consulting role - similar to the role i have right now. I have seen p&l roles to be 250 odd that have stocks as part of comp. Or even corp strat roles. 2)agreed on inflated titles etc - i followed trajectory of a few ppl i know, and thats what they did. Personally i am assuming i will grow more than 1 level given the politics of a large company. The way i looked at it was - its an entry point to a role that will give me industry creds, expand my industry/consulting network (these roles are typically facing vendors), spend lot more time at home and lastly spend time on my startup

OP what industry are you moving into and what is your service line? Congrats on landing the role.

Well what you described earlier (company size, career path) sounds really nice and if you are happy with the comp, probably worth taking it, but you also run a risk that:
1). Titles are awfully inflated in that company and there are a lot of directors. Probably true as the total comp of 170 odd is so much lower than director comp elsewhere (typically 250 odd)
2). In reality career path will be much different and that's just what headhunters told you

like

Def no brainer

Depends on company but sounds good. Typically PLs from BCG target director roles so as a PL I wouldn't have worries about title, but again depends on company

Its an inaurance company

How big is it? Fortune 500? What's he path forward there?

What's overall comp look like (in absolute terms, I know you mentioned it relative to current comp)?

Wow that sounds low

Considering an offer to go from firm (4 YOE) to become a privacy/product counsel for a tech company (non-faang).

If I stayed at the firm, I feel reasonably secure as an associate of not being laid off due to the market. How do in house counsel positions typically fare during lay off cycles?
