Need Advice*** I successfully completed my interviews and was told today their working on my offer of 90k+ BUT I got thrown for a loop with the last interviewer (head of HR). She mentioned A hybrid schedule of 3 days in office, but the executive I’d be supporting told me different. I’d only have to go into the office on occasions where she’s there or for important meetings (she lives in TX and office is in CA). How do I handle this conflicting information?

I started working as a consultant with EY 8 months ago. Even though I'm content and learning a lot there, I think there are places where I might easily earn more money. I received a job offer last week from Alvarez & Marsal to work as a consultant at the Transaction Advisory Department (financial due diligence team), where I will be paid more fairly (salary & bonus). Should I accept it? Or would leaving EY that early not be wise?
