A recruiter recently reached out about a role that seems like a great fit. Since I wasn't actively looking, I want to make sure the move is financially worth it. What's a realistic salary jump to expect when being recruited away from a stable position?

Wrong question.

What firm is your best long term opportunity?

How strong are your relationships with current leaders? Are you “stable” but at risk if economy turns? Do you trust them? If they had to lay off two or three people would you be one of them?

Which firms partners are winning in the marketplace creating growth opportunities?

Which firms partners have more clients in growth industries or cities?

Is one firm in a HCOL state with high taxes and crazy real estate prices while the other is in a low tax growth state?

What is partner promotion and layoff history at each firm? Is either one likely to do a Private Equity or ESOP deal? Are one firms partners much older than the other firms thus an uncertain future transition to unknown new leaders?

Great point

Depends on the role and location.. but generally you should ask yourself how much of an increase you want to relearn and do something different

My standard response when an outside recruiter reaches out to me and asks about salary expectations is a range that is around 10-20% above what I am making now. I also add that the number could change based on the role, location (hybrid, remote, fully in-office), and the company. Also try to find out why the role is open, and potential career growth 5-10 years down the road.

If I know the company, I will try to do some research on them to try to get an idea of their financial stability.

Currently I work as a implementation consultant in a fast growing B2B SaaS company. We just recently received a funding round of 500M EUR, but I don’t have any stake in the company yet (only joined 5 months ago). I got an offer for EY-P but turns out the compensation is a bit lower than my current salary (~50kEUR). I’m really interested in strategy & PE cdd, but never done it before. I’m worried that the opportunity cost is too high if I leave my current company. Really appreciate some advice!
