I got some great help from this forum in the past, so I would like to get your opinion once again. I've been with a Big 4 advisory for about a year now (straight out of undergrad). I was lucky to be on some interesting projects, some of which were with the strategy horizontal our company. My salary was a typical NYC average entry-level advisory salary.
Last month, I received an unexpected offer from the industry. One of the clients that I worked in the past had been very impressed by my presentation skills and they reached out to me a very generous offer (60% more than what I am currently making now). I am humbled, and yet, confused. The position is a supply chain / operations manager role for a consumer retail company. It involves process improvement, methods and procedures development related tasks. I have enjoyed my projects so far, and learned so much working with high profile clients. On the down side, I am just an entry level associate. The client who offered me the position is extremely impressed by my skills, and extended an offer that they typically offer to an MBA graduate. I am just not sure about commuting 3 hrs /day to a remote warehouse location outside NYC for a operations related role which I am not entirely dying for.
Given these, is it possible to receive a similar offer again in 1-2 years from a more recognized firm for a more interesting role? Or should I jump at this opportunity and build a solid track record for b-school?
