Anyone ever ask for a demotion? I'm a manager making a consultant salary and don't think $$ is worth the stress. Don't want to leave firm just want less pressure.

In my past life as a manager in industry I had someone ask me for a demotion from engineer to technician. Less responsibility, stricter hour limitations, and overtime. He saw a 30% raise and has been happy as a clam. We went out and celebrated his demotion

I've seen people going from M at Big4/ACN to associate at MBB/2nd tier, and based on their experience I'd say it was a good move. Why don't you want to leave? Pressure only gets worse at ACN...

Don't want to leave consulting. Already asked for raise and was denied. Trying to avoid leaving but seems like only option unless I ask for demotion.

Switch firms or ask for more. Never ask for a demotion. They'd let you go. How much do you make and which group?

And also sorry to hear about the shitty situation. It sucks at big firms where even an advocate can't help you get paid more

Not a good idea OP. This isn't industry and you are risking your job. Switch firms asap get the pay bump and be happy.

Transfer into CDO or ITL may be easier don't recommend asking for a demotion you should quit first
