What is the best kind of consulting to switch too from big 4 audit? I’m at EY right now but looking to potentially make a switch into consulting in the next year. I still enjoy the finance side of things but not sure what kind of consulting still involved mostly finance/accounting

I got an offer for a Healthcare risk management role. I'm a BA but this role is more like an SC level. The salary jump is 50% more than what I'm making.

However the company is really tiny. Nobody has ever heard of it, and it's not a startup so I doubt there'll be any growth.

Do you think it's worth making the jump? I was only at Deloitte for 9 months.

Also do you think I have the possibility of returning to B4 or ever going to FAANG in the future?
