The "automatic salary increase/perpetual earnings power" benefit of staying until manager is a myth that's designed to keep you in your current role at a below market salary for as long as possible. It's certainly a great accomplishment to reach any given level at B4 (and many other companies). But if the purported salary benefits were true, then that data would be readily available.

Think about what you are actually doing on a day-to-day basis, rather than simply thinking about the milestone at which you might leave. What are you experiencing? What are you learning? What is it about your current role that would help you benefit another employer some day? Simply getting exposure to things and working for a well-known firm isn't going to help you, especially at your level. If you are at the point where the only thing that really keeps you around is the fear that you will someday regret having left to early because of the career-long salary implications, then you probably should consider leaving.

It could be the difference in level. That's all I can say, as it is not guaranteed.

FWIW, I made manager in May and got a massive salary bump with EY. I was able to leverage my new base when talking with recruiters to negotiate and say "a jump isn't worth x%. I need y%". That being said, I would have left at senior if it wasn't for the banked bonus. If you don't want to make partner, leave at senior 2 or manager 1.
