Calling all M’s - Where did you exit to? Comps? Title? Worth it? Challenges in industry?

Industry. Former EY M2. Base was 10K more but bonus was 10 times more than EY. Better work life balance, lesser dirty politics, 2-3 times remote work, no travel and lesser hassles. Flip side? Less learning, slow. Am I happy? Yes.

Same as VP1. In Banking, slow life compared to consulting. Enough money to keep saving and paying the bills, and the biggest benefit - plenty of time on hand to actually live life.

Former Deloitte M3, exited to Director role (not FAANG). Base was $5k more ($125k), bonus was WAY more ($40k), and I received LTI (~$30k). Politics were different but far less toxic, WLB was fantastic, and ability to actually own and lead something YOY was incredibly fulfilling. That said, base raises were practically nonexistent, no upward or even sideways mobility, and at the end of the day I realized I wasn’t learning or developing at nearly the same rate - I was bored and I wasn’t challenged. Trade offs.

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?

And yes, I've constantly asked throughout this entire year yet nothing has happened only promises that its coming soon or I'll be included in upcoming xyz.

Hi, I recently applied to a salesforce company and was selected for an interview. I had interviews with a recruiter, department manager and hiring manager and did well in them all. My final interview was with the CEO which lasted for about 10 minutes. He said he has read the notes from the previous interviews and the recruiter will get in touch with you. What are the chances I do not get this job given that I did well in all 3 interviews leading to the final interview with the CEO?
