Option 3. You are still young and come back to big 4 if the startup doesn’t work out.

PwC is also a good option. Would go with the brand name if I were you, but you were young. What is your sector interest? Automaker is a dying sector so not a great alternative.

Congrad. Nice to know you were able to secure a few great offers. I would go with the health start-up, as recommanded by others and can probabaly negociate a high offer. Better upside and safe bet. PwC is the next option if you enjoy the professional service space and want to stay in the game.

PwC1 lol. PwC takes three years to promote experience Senior Associates to Manager post-MBA. It’s the same slow game as EY.

In order: option 3; option 2; find new options; option 1 (this one seems an odd alignment considering the other two opportunities).

That’s kind of how I’m feeling. PWC was my backup backup but idk if I want to go back to consulting. They way i was thrown out didn’t sit well with me and I don’t want to deal with the bs of utilization and finding engagements etc.

Also the startup is in Miami and as a single guy that’s really appealing lol

Great offers, option 3. What work did you do at PwC?

Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.

I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.

Should I stay or should I go?

PSA - We are headed into a self-imposed economic slow down. Now is not the time to lateral but if you do, I would make sure you are at a recession-proof practice or firm. The top law firms will be okay (they always are) but if you are part of a larger group of associates with no work, you are likely to be axed. Latham did it in the 2008 and 2011 and it will happen again. If you are an associate or really anyone but a rainmaker, you are expendable.
