Anyone get compensated well enough and don't want to move up?

I feel like I get paid well for my level of responsibility. If I get promoted, I'm expecting like a 5k raise for a hell lot more responsibility. Maybe I'm just lacking ambition, but I see the stress some of these people are experiencing and it's crazy. A 20k bump in salary, sure, but below 10k and I rather stay at my current level. Wonder what happens when one turns down a promotion?

You will likely never get a raise that is equitable with the amount of additional responsibilities, at least in the short run. Over time you will get used to the responsibilities and grow into the job. Then you will be ready to get promoted and go through the cycle again.

The decision to take a promotion is long term. If you don’t take promotion #1, you won’t have an opportunity to take promotion #10.

I’m honestly quite happy at the SC level and my comp is far more than I’d thought to be making right now. May try to move to a specialist track. I have no aspiration to grind it out to PPMD.

OP - I jumped to another firm from C to SC with a sizable increase. Only way to make faster and bigger gains. I’m happy now with my comp...would’ve been less so at my old firm.

Well... depends what kind of leadership you have. My knee jerk reaction is to tell you TAKE THE PROMOTION. But I’ll give you the alternative too... if they ask the question, be honest— perhaps you can get that $20k you’re looking for and along the way prove you are a trusted advisor to your leaders.

Part of the compensation is the potential that you bring to the firm - that's why there's an up or out model in place.

Yes i feel similarly. Id like to get to where i am confortable financially and stay there a while. I want to keep my happiness and time for family and life rather than continuously getting more stress and responsibility and time commitments.
There are many jobs that exsistwhere you are in the job you are in and you arent being constantly pushed to the next levels so its not some crazy idea. Its just not normal for consulting.
