Would love some advice on this please! I began my career at the start of this year in the big four. I have a offer from a smaller consulting org in real estate advisory but I would come in as a Senior. Is it too early to switch?

I would weigh the salary. The title at a smaller company holds little value to your next step. Play like chess. Plan now where you will be in the following years. It’s possible, you set the limits.

I think you should do it. And if it's no good, there are 3 more Big 4 to jump back into and possibly with a better title.

Do you want to specialize in real estate advisory?

I am not sure but I really like real estate. Big four work has been getting boring and I have been handling senior responsibilities since I started.

Specific question regarding cases: I’m realizing while practicing that there is no “correct” structure in any given case (i.e., it seems to me that your structure can be different to the solution, without being “wrong”). So how should I know that my structure is good/detailed enough? Any indicators?

I’m in a major city, firm is a boutique that has been around a very long time. What would you suggest? Any studies or research you’ve seen recently on trends in parental leave policies also helpful. I’d like to have some sort of data to back up what I recommend. TIA!

Hi guys, I’m debating switching careers. I’m currently a mortgage loan officer but I’m very interested in SE. My degree is in finance.

What is a realistic starting salary for entry level SE? I’ve read and been told 90k, but that seems high.
