It sounds like you should accept the bonus variability (seems endemic to Big 4)... and that you're likely getting paid lower than industry on average (really- go check)... but it's the advancement speed and breadth of learning opportunities that make the role worth it. Otherwise, it's not and you should quit xD

Hi everyone,

I’m currently looking to build a career within the ESG consulting and strategy space. I am in a career transition phase and have a tax consultancy background from a Big 4 for 5+ years. However, I believe I have gained some skills that are transferable to ace at ESG consulting as well. While I am still in the process of upskilling myself and gaining the required knowledge, could you help me with referring my CV or with some leads?

What is the expected salary for senior software developer with 4+ years of experience at Capgemini

Without looking, I was recently offered a role at another company for about 30% more salary and 10x the amount of stock options, but I have only been at my current employer for less than a year and feel really guilty about leaving so soon into my tenure. My current employer might match salary, but there's no chance the options get matched.

I'm wondering if I should take the new position, even after less than a year at my company? I can't shake my guilt even though it seems like a no-brainer.
