What is the culture like, type of work and reputation of Capco in the Data & Analytics space?
I have some good ex colleagues who moved over there and also looked up on LinkedIn and see lots of seemingly smart and accomplished people in their D&A team in the UK.
I'll ask my ex colleagues too, but wanted to see if people here have any opinion or information on this too.
TIA

Yeah, I absolutely would — and honestly, I have in the past. Money feels great on paper and when it hits your bank account, but if you’re drowning every day, not growing, and the chaos is eating away at your energy and confidence, that salary starts to feel like expensive handcuffs. I’ve been in a spot like that: decent pay, but terrible manager, zero structure, constant fires, and zero mentorship. I wasn’t learning, I was just surviving. After a while I realized I was getting bitter and my skills were actually stagnating. The regret you’re feeling is real, and it’s valid.
If you’ve got another offer (or even the possibility of one) with a better team and a manager you respect, I’d seriously consider taking a pay cut for it — especially if the gap isn’t massive. Peace of mind, actual growth, and working with people who have your back are worth way more in the long run. You can always climb back up salary-wise once you’re in a healthier environment where you’re learning and performing at your best. But you can’t get back the months or years you spend burned out and frustrated.You’re not wrong for regretting it — most of us have taken a job that looked perfect on the spreadsheet and turned out to be soul-crushing in practice. It doesn’t mean you made a bad decision with the info you had at the time; it just means you’ve learned what you actually need to be happy and effective.
It can take me a while before I settle into a new job. If it’s more than that, I’d probably consider a better environment over high pay. Especially not learning anything when I want to.
I wouldn't. Not right now, anyway. I need every dollar. Luckily I've got no complaints with my coworker or manager, so I don't have to consider that decision.
