Thinking about going from PwC to RSM in consulting
Is there anything else I should consider?

Pros:
- 15-20% raise
- From SA to “Supervisor” title which is like pre-manager
- less hours of work expected
Cons:
- Smaller team
- less variety of projects/growth
- not big 4

Personally wouldn't do this but it depends how much you value the improved WLB (if that even materialises). I personally would only make the jump to a T2 or above

Ah I see, I worked at OW before PWC. Seems I’m going downhill in prestige lol

Shouldn’t take anything less than 30%. That way if the hours don’t end up better, at least the pay will somewhat make up for it.

Went from RSM to big4, I wouldnt say less hours is guaranteed

Nope, my hours and access to support are better at big4. With that said, I built stronger connections at RSM since you have a set team to report to regardless of the project youre staffed on.

Don’t leave for only a 20% raise and lateral change in title. Just my opinion

That’s true, RSM has SA > supervisor > manager so technically it’s one up, but definitely feels lateral

I can only speak to going from Big4 to mid-tier tax. The hours did not get better like I was sold on. Smaller team meant more hands on.

Hmm ok, the recruiter said the consulting arm partner lead was fairly firm on working 40 hours or less a week. To which I was like… :o

if you leave PwC on good terms you can always boomerang back after a year for a nice pay bump

I came to pwc from a mid tier and am going back to a (different) mid tier. Felt that working at big 4 had its perks, but ultimately the culture on my team is way worse than my experience at mid tier.

I would avoid that transition and keep looking

A friend of mine from a top tier consulting firm was counseled out. Do you consider it ethical that his career counselor is intentially spreading the information to his colleagues and to other consultants from other companies in the project? What can he do about it? Specially that he considers the potential layoff is purely based on the current situation (chargeability was low) and not on his performance (they said that his contribution to BD during his bench time was low)?
