Networked into an interview and offer. Didnt take it because they wanted me to step back a level and lateral pay. Was not impressed with experience in finance

Why do you want to go to MBB besides the name and prestige?

EY - everyone has to make their own decision. That said, pay may be lateral but it goes up 15% per year on average. Plus healthcare is basically 100% free. On level, honestly less pressure to step back than being measured against dyed in the wool BCGers. Besides promos come every 2 years. Not like you'd be there long.

Name and prestige is something I care about.

Yeah, all things equal, exit opps will be better at MBB.

Aren’t there more project opportunities even outside of strategy?

Hi Everyone,
I need your views and suggestions. I have two doubts:
1. Is it fair to leave an organisation (big brand) after a year as the environment is real toxic and there’s no career growth as well in terms of good work.
2. If I have to make a switch do I really have to target big brands only or can try for medium and small size companies too.

Fellow enterprise tech sales fish, I’m interested to hear your perspective. I’ve been in a rut lately and seriously considering leaving sales. I think it’s primarily fueled by one thing:
After a 6 mo cycle I closed a large deal (4x the average deal size) prior to receiving delayed 2022 comp plans. The deal counts as a 2022 deal. On last years comp plan it would’ve paid out at 10%. This year it pays out at a measly 4%.

How do you/have you navigated your way through and out of these situations?
