Lol yep seems legit
What an amazing career journey.
This is so depressing.
lol, brother can you hire me I just want $200K OTE lol
Finally, someone with a nice long long trajectory that starts off reasonable and eventually hits aspiration level money, but only after 20+ years of presumably slogging away
Just came back here to say that I did it! The push is over and partnership has been secured.
Your left the firm 2 years after partnership ? Are you still a partner ?
Hire me
Any tips on when to leave the technical side? ~5 years in at around 140k and can't tell whether I should look be looking for other dev jobs or more functional.
On one hand I don't want to be writing code forever but on the other it seems like the non-technical roles I've been interviewing for (technical product xyz roles mostly) seem like they could be a wild pivot and no clue how I would potentially fare.
As soon as you realize you don’t want to do it forever. Moving internally was easiest path for me
Impressive career and thank you very much for sharing! Many of us appreciate your transparency and help guiding the younger generation!
Impressive you made partner during peak covid… respect and congratulations!
You hiring OP?
What kind of consulting do you do?
Is that like integration support? So post deal consulting?
Thanks for sharing!
350k in 2010 is nuts.
Contract work with no benefits and no guarantee of more work after projects ended
Thanks for the detailed breakdown! It seems like you pivoted careers throughout your journey? Mind expanding on that a bit the different types of roles you switched to?
Amazing journey. The trajectory is nuts.
Big thanks for the transparency. OP, are you at B4, MBB, or T2?
T2
what did you do on your year off? how did you plan for it?
Took my severance, unemployment and travelled. No plan. Would have just gone back to school and into debt again if it went any longer.
How can i get in tech lol
That is an incredible path you took congratulations!
Thanks for sharing OP! Did you leave SW engineering for sales in 2003? Also what was your role in 2010? That was a great pay bump!
Thanks for the response OP! I’m just in awe of you and your career progression.
I’m currently in the PjM/PgM type role and also looking to go into sales ops/finance + preparation for my move back to consulting later next year. Any advice on how to make this role pivot?
Ok boomer
Can you talk more about what happened in 2007-2011?
You went from $145K in ‘07 -> $220K in ‘08 and laid off then took a year off… -> $300K in ‘11?
That’s a hell of a jump in 4 years from $145K to $300K… anything specific happen during this time to help you jump that much?
I’m in a similar boat as you were in but about $20k lower than your ‘08 salary, and I’m trying to figure out how to double that in the next 4 years…
Laid off in ‘08 so the $ includes severance. The bump in ‘10 was the move from industry into consulting as a contractor with no more benefits, stock, or job security, etc. What was supposed to be a 2 month project turned into over a year and l ended up joining the firm in ‘11.
Tier 2 firm at $1.5M as a new partner at 40 hours a week? I simply don’t believe it.
For real lol, dudes lying out his azzzzzz
Nicely done op. Hopefully not too personal but has the work negatively impacted your personal/family life? Have you been able to keep spouse happy and remain in kids life? I'm struggling and I'm thinking of going for cushy industry job at a severe pay cut since my family is in jeopardy
Thanks for this response. I have a two and three year old and I’m trying to move into consulting but my husband thinks I’ll never see them. I just hit my 40’s and I’m ready to push hard for my career, but mindful about missing those moments with my boys (all of them 😊).
