Trying to decide on an exit opp as an M at Accenture. Company and role are definitely not my dream exit, but company has great WLB, benefits etc with a wonderful ~35% increase in TC. Just trying to decide if it’s worth it to leave consulting for a not suuuuper inspiring role/company and potentially get trapped in that industry or role.
All advice appreciated!

If wlb matters than it’s time to go. U can’t buy time back. Consulting will be here after u leave

I’m honestly not sure here - M level working through similar questions myself. I’m not sure the people saying “you can always go back to consulting” are really correct.

Maybe you could come back in a different vertical later and/or work with people much younger than yourself, but you’re on a fast track now that you’d be giving up…and in this new world of inflation, is 35% increase that hard to find? I’m not sure.

I went through this recently with a sweet offer from a software company. I eventually turned it down because the product and its market bored me to tears. I eventually found the better fit at a slightly lower salary.

Should answer your question for you. You can always return to consulting.

How much time before your offer deadline? You could have an accelerated interview process at any place hiring for a stretch role, use the offer as leverage.

Anyone switched from Becker to Wiley and regretted it? I did and though I appreciate the bite-sized lectures, I don't enjoy it as much as Becker. My access for Becker expired already and I don't want to spend 2k again 😭 such a tough choice to make but I feel like I'm not getting what I need from Wiley.
