If you like the work you're doing then it's worth it to stay through the promotion and then look around. On the flip side, don't get stuck promoting into a practice that you don't enjoy or you'll be seen as a specialist in that area going forward.
Or is it best to just stay put until SC and then jump ship?
Current manager said my SC salary should be in the 95-100k range seeing my utilization and work
Jump for sure, and get higher pay now as well; if you value title, then just getting manager at IBM may not translate to manager at big 4. Aka, jumping now at least gives you a year to be promoted potentially, which may realisically not happen unless you prove yourself/are that 'good' to be trusted in a year (all about who you know, let's be real)
So yeah, looks the answer is jumping makes the most sense no matter what, at least get to the level of 95-100 as senior consultant in big 4 and then see what happens
That’s my true fear! I don’t want to be pigeon-holed this early on in my career. I’m still learning, still growing. I’d rather be more general at this point in my career
But to be honest, I need MORE challenge. More stress, more responsibility, whatever you want to call it.
I know a few IBMers who got promoted to senior consultant 100+K then moved to senior consultant at big4 with an even bigger salary. Also the band levels don’t necessarily match up (Deloitte starts at Analyst then 2 years you become a consultant). I’d say always keep evaluating your career and looking for new opps. Either you like the work you’re doing now and stay or if you don’t like it, look elsewhere. Consulting changes so much, no need to stress about 2 years head. A lot of people don’t even want to consult anymore at that point. Just focus on the next few months
Very helpful. Thx.
Wouldn’t mind more money as well since Toronto cost of living is hella fucked. You’re considered below middle class at $150k salary..........
Yes, get off that sinking ship regardless of $
