Thoughts on leaving position in PwC CM DDV group for small (80-100 employees) rapidly growing boutique that is not well known outside my current city. Pay is slightly more (but not anything to brag about) and mostly looking for other exp. than M&A and better WLB. Does this make sense in terms of risk / exit opportunities, without a sizable comp increase?

Go with your gut and also take mental health into it - life isn’t all about making money. If you think you’d benefit from moving to a new firm go for it.

This does not sound like an opportunity to leave the firm for. You have extremely valuable work experience and should not sell yourself short. Consider transferring groups before leaving the firm. Tons of other experiences to consider where you are. Speak to your engagement partner or one of the leaders and they’ll be very supportive in helping you navigate your next steps.

What is CM DDV?

Consumer Markets vertical. Pay would still be pretty high ($178K for low end T2 city) and room for upside just more risk. Have seen friends in the TMT group go to FAANG for much higher total comp but also are in much HCOL locations.
