Both situations will end with me leaving the company. On one hand it's much easier to get a job elsewhere when you're already employed. On the other hand I don't want to go back to those dark times of feeling powerless and having my brain slowly die.

What kind of role is it

In the same situation. I lean toward long term role - gives you time to focus on finding the right role outside of Accenture for you (or inside!)

Taking the assignment is worse

How does this Amazon offer look for an L5 non-tech PM role in Seattle? I’m coming in with 2 YOE as a startup PM. No MBA.

$130K base, 20 RSUs, $45K sign on over 2 years ($25/20). 1st year TC $160K.

It was extended before the recent announcement that TCs are going up but I don’t know if I’d be impacted regardless.

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.
