Spent 3 years trying to exit. Finally got my big offer. Also developed relationships in the firm and things got easier during Covid-19 and I began to enjoy EY for the first time ever. Is this Stockholm syndrome or should I think long term and exit?

What’s been your biggest struggle for exiting?

I was in a similar position. Passed on an exit offer as I reflected on my opportunities in consulting... 3 months later I regret it. Take a swing and go for the next step, consulting will be here waiting.

SC to M, promotion in CBO.

I was promoted to SC in Aug 2020, and milestone year shows 2024 (4 years).

Is this normal I thought SC-M was 3 years and 2 for an early promo.

Can anyone suggest if it's even possible to try to get promoted in 2 years? Just don't want to put in extra effort and getting disappointed later.

Should I accept the new offer ? How do I tell the previous company about this? Also, I’ve already negotiated with the first company and the $115K base is the negotiated salary. I really do not prefer one company over the other. They’re both great! I’m very confused here. TIA🙏
