Would you take a £10k pay rise to move to industry in a global role if it meant no promotion prospects and working with no team mates?

“Global” roles typically sit as internal cost centres (as opposed to profit centres). As a result, offer no / very limited career trajectory, minimal coaching / learning / mentoring. And near zero / limited accountability. Typically / almost always peripheral (as opposed to core) to the overall business. Rarely / almost never client facing.

The above are facts. No judgement implied.

You decide if the above fits your own career journey.

Good luck!

Looking at a similar option, limited promo or pay rise opportunities for the next 2-3 years. Quite inclined to take it though, don’t think the sales piece of the consulting hustle is my thing.

I think I am built this way too…love doing the gritty consulting day to day work - and whether it’s strategy, design or implementation I don’t mind. However, it’s the Sales side that I get put off by too!

No. No promotion prospects for the rest of your career? Sounds like a bad deal

like

It would be no promotion whilst I was there for 2-3 years but it itself is a step up/promotion from where I’m at in terms of seniority/visibility.

Really depends in what salary you’re at now. I wouldn’t mind staying at 120k for awhile with no promotion prospects, wouldn’t do it if I’m at the start of my career at 50k.

Yes, my impression is also that SM at PwC is equivalent to M in many other places.

will you be learning? gotta be learning or earning or ideally both

Assuming the role is better WLB as well and in an industry/area that could be a good stepping stone, I’d probably go for it. However I’d start looking for the next opportunity around the 1 year mark, and the entire time there focus on projects that will support my cv for next job search.
If it’s not in the area you want to pursue after or it’s going to be a lot more work, then don’t take it

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.
