Leading a team after 2.5 years is gonna be a stretch
Maybe we can pass on that part

I’d say there is about a zero percent chance a boutique consulting agency will pay 200k for 2.5 yoe
Rising Star
It’s a minuscule proportion that pays like that. In order to pay salaries like that you need to pull in more than a million a head basically. That’s very tough to do without a huge brand that provides a steady stream of rfp’s
I feel like I’m at a cross-roads. Yes, this is still a 9 to 11pm sort of job, but in the last year, the job has gotten considerably easier. I feel like I’m using 10% of my brain capacity. I’m able to upwards manage much better now. The job isn’t very stressful. The pay, in my mind, is “good” but not “great.”
I can see a case for staying, but I also don’t know if this is really what I want to do for the rest of my life.
Maybe if all you're doing is back to back CDDs

How many offers do you have ?
Zero at the moment, but I’ve interviewed over the past few years and gotten 2 offers, which I declined: 1 for pay (start-up strategy role), the other for poor workplace culture + they couldn’t match LEK’s pay trajectory (even though year 1 pay was higher)
*rational plz fix
There are boutiques that pay similarly but nobody will let you lead a team at 2.5 YOE AND pay you that well
Yes but I think it’s a bit of a conflict to help you go to a competitor so unfortunately I need to decline to answer your question. Sorry homie.
Why are you focused on just boutiques? You can make more than that at MBB and be leading small teams of ~2-3 at that yoe
What’s the pay like at LEK? Sheesh.
I’d say “good” but not “great”
