Hi all,
I am currently working in EYP and has been approached by OW and AKT headcounters (similar team).
Would you think it would be a good opportunity for a lateral move (i.e. if OW / ATK are better brands or provide better exit opportunity)? My next step is to move into PE (portfolio management). My concern is that moving to a new firm will take more time to build relationships which indicate longer time for promotion.
Thank you all very much.
Hi there,
We need a bit more background here.
How long have you been working at EYP and in what role(s)? What are the OW and AKT offers? If they'll jump you up a level and provide higher pay it is a consideration.
Finally, if you're enjoying EYP, doing well, rising up, networking well, etc. don't try to fix it if it ain't broke!
The lateral move is not making sense to me given what you have shared. Unless there is some more background to your situation, you wont be doing yourself any favour by moving laterally even if they pay slightly more $.
If you want to move to PE, it doesn't make sense to move out of EYP (unless you are not doing strategy or CDD type of work).
At EYP you are more likely to be doing the type of work that matters to PE firms, and it a brand recognized for that type of work within those firms. So moving to OW or Kearney doesn't really make sense in this case.
