Thoughts on staying at EY within Business Consulting - Finance as a manager or jumping to Accenture Strategy - CFO-EV as an experienced consultant (and “fast track” to manager in what the recruiter says is < 1 year until manager)? Salary roughly the same right now but potentially 20% - 30% higher post-promotion to manager at Accenture Strategy. Current role as manager at EY is a comfortable 40 hours / week.

Recruiters are the best liars. Fast track is the biggest scam. If they wanted to offer you manager, they would have.

Agree. Once you join the firm, they come up with all the bs about the need to complete full performance year and rating (which might be difficult in first year at new firm) etc.

What did they give you as the base? I got 165 + 20 w 5 YOE.

I would just stay at EY tbh

Stay at EY why would you go down a level
