So got an offer from Mercer in their M&A consulting division. Want your opinion on whether it would be a good move to make for my career (BO to Front).
Should I stay at the BB, and try to keep looking for better opportunities? Kind of scared of being pigeonholed as I've been in this kind of role for 3+ yrs.

Take the role. My understanding is right now you have zero value add for any role outside bb correct?
Take it. Product control is a dead end job. Get out as fast as you can.
No doubt, take it.
OK thank you guys for your response.
One thing that kind of bothers me is that Mercer is well known for its HR consulting and me getting labeled the HR guy (despite the role being called M&A Consultant).
Do you guys think I could spin my experience after a few yrs working as a consultant at Mercer to something better in the financial industry?
