Would it be a bad decision to jump ship 5 months prior to the Consultant > Senior Consultant promotion? Looking for long term view. Potential ~35% comp bump going to industry, but not a ‘senior’ title

Don't get caught up on the title. I just finished recruiting and had offers at manager, sm, and director. Comp and responsibilities were very similar across all titles. Each company has their own approach to titles which shouldn't impact your decision

What are your reasons for leaving now instead of waiting until EOY? Are there any bonuses you would forgo by leaving now? Is there a position open now that you really want? Also, I don't think a week at SC will change your negotiations much. Probably need to be in the role at least 3 months.

There’s an open industry position that I’m pursuing. It wouldn’t involve travel and work life balance seems to be a lot better. I would likely forgo a large bonus loss in late August/September, however my the base salary in this role would be ~15% higher than my upcoming new total comp (Aug/Sept bonus + new level salary), and ~35%+ higher than my estimated upcoming base salary. Trying to figure out if I would be making the right decision, but just worried that another opportunity like this wouldn’t come up for a long time.

I would jump. No question about it. If you go to industry you can always come back if you change your mind

Titles in industry doesn’t say anything - My friend in industry just got promoted to “SM” with fancy ass end to the title. This person has a Bachelors, 2years of experience and get paid ~$80k.

Hello Everyone,

I presently work in a serene and welcoming workplace where the atmosphere is extremely soothing, but I believe that given my current circumstances, my cost of living is too high and my pay seems to be very low given that I have quite a few additional responsibilities on my shoulders.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
