Under 2 YOE and received a job offer from a small (<15 people) deal valuation strategy consulting firm that’s supposed to (according to historicals and leadership claims) hopefully grow quickly. $120k + $55k bonus. They’ve historically given everyone the target bonus. Am I overthinking this? I don’t want to be a lifetime consultant but this seems a bit too good to be true. I have to take it, right? Will going to such a small firm stunt any chance of a good industry exit in the next 5-7 years?

Yes, take it. No one (industry exit) is going to be thrown off, especially when you can clearly articulate all sides of the business you supported, which you’ll have to at an outfit that small.

Partner dialed in and said manager communicated her comments to him and I can call him after I digested it. How do I approach this situation?
