One of my coworkers loved her time in Minneapolis!

Looking to do the same thing. Want to move to Minneapolis so bad! I'll do it if you don't 💁

Just be prepared to never leave if you make the move.

You can leave anywhere at any time.

I mean it in a good way...you won't want to leave. There are a lot of agencies here that provide an amazing work/life balance, living is affordable, the pace is slower. It's a great city to be in.

your NYC experience will help you there. You can always move back, but you probably won't

2 questions:
1. Should I ask for Senior Mgr (AD) grade - to which they have already said NO
2. Is GBP 76.5K sitting at the lower end of M grade in Deloitte UK? What should be a good expectation for the role
