So I received an offer that is +45k putting my total salary at 170 as a senior and I tried counter offering but my partner said to me that money will always be there but that I can’t buy connections and growth. I don’t understand the mindset behind this? Isn’t more money today worth more than more money tomorrow?

Focus on the type of work you want to do, and the money will come. Ive seen so many people leave and end up hating their jobs because they chased money.

If you like the job and the money is more, great - go for it!

Not always M1. Idk about you but a 30% raise to do the same consulting gig really isn’t that big of a deal. If anything, you build an even bigger network

I’ve been doing this for a long time and my #1 piece of advice i give people is that - the only person who genuinely cares about your career is you. And if you have a spouse/partner, that makes 2. Everyone else isn’t trying to understand how your departure will impact their career.

Run like the wind. Especially if you are actually at EY.

Jump at your level it is easy to do connections . Much harder at director level and beyond

Which firm? I’ll take it if you don’t 🙂

Take it

Connections may be that important at dir+, but you’re not bringing or losing a book of business as an SA.

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
