Should I take same role at another Big 4 firm (opportunity is for Senior Associate in Tech Strategy Consulting at Strategy&, $190k base). Current Senior in Tech Strategy @ EY-Consulting ($175k base), would likely be promoted to Mgr this coming spring. Mainly intrigued by the more prestigious brand, higher salary +signing bonus, faster upward mobility (~1 year cadence to be promoted ranks — seems to take numerous years between ranks @ EY-C). But worth losing the connections/brand I’ve built @ EY?

I see this as a step up with brand, as you stated, and guaranteed higher comp. That manager promotion is not guaranteed and you may regret not taking the pay bump when you had the chance. Also, not sure if this applies to tech strategy, but I hear strategy& offers much higher bonuses than your regular big 4 consulting divisions. You will be well into the 200s with signing and perf bonus.

Since when does EY pay seniors 175… are you an MBA hire?

What are your hours like? Understand that S& hours are brutal and the Up out Out is very strictly enforced at the SA / M levels.

Yup. I worked on avg 14-17 hours a day.

Tech strategy consulting means what exactly? Management consultant work for tech companies or is this system implementation and cybersecurity stuff?

It’s advising C-level execs on the front-end business case behind technology-enabled business transformations (for companies across industries). Definitely management consulting/strategy work but with a tech/IT flavor. Not implementation work.

15k (less than 10%) usually not worth the loss of personal brand, network, firm knowledge and goodwill.

I accepted an offer from another consulting firm and my H1B visa has also been transferred. I have not joined the new role yet. However I had been interviewing with another firm and expecting an offer I know this is not the best practice but is it allowed to accept another offer even though H1 transfer has been approved through another employer? If I accept the second offer does this raise any red flags with USCIS as they potentially see 2 almost consecutive visa transfer requests?

Should I Go Back and Reneg? Recently I was offered a role as a Project Implementation Manager (In Retirement Services) .The salary range for Colorado residents was 65-89K. I’m located in NY so the recruiter said he would try to get me more. Ultimately he came back at 90K which is a bit inline with that I was seeing on Glassdoor but approx looks like I may leave 10-12K on the table. I accepted already but may get an offer from another HR company in account management around 90-100K. Need advice

Can anyone help me wrap my head around this post Series C start-up equity offer? It’s an IP director position, the the base is $170 with 10% bonus (both lower than I was expecting). There’s also an equity component: 0.15% of current fully diluted equity. This equates to about 30000 shares at a strike price of $2. They also indicate the preferred stock price is $6 and preferred stock equity is $188k (whatever that means). They are in the middle of a new financing and valuation round.

I’m in big law and on the cusp of making the jump to in-house. It sounds like the company I just interviewed with is getting ready to make me an offer. It’s definitely going to be a pay cut coming from big law but I do get some nice equity in the company. Is the jump worth it? I’m so burnt out by big law and this seems like an awesome opportunity to help shape a newish company. Any tips on how to figure out if this is the right move for me?
