Current salary is 120K, salary for next year could jump to $140k+ given promotion to manager.

Does it make sense to target 130-145k for exits into roles below manager or should I be waiting for manager opportunities?

Are you Market and Client at Accenture?

Yes

I would wait till promotion if there is some certainty and jump from there

If you planning to exit into industry, it would pay off if you get promoted to M and can aim for Director roles!

It would make sense if you wanted to get out of consulting and play the long game in industry, which can be very lucrative. Don’t jump if you think you’ll just leave the next place after a few years.

Fellow introverts...can I only advance in my career if I take on a leadership role? The thought of this terrifies me.

It doesn't help that he always presents outdated ideas and throws UX out the window. I know that I know my stuff and keep up with best practices. I have 4+ years experience but am treated as entry level.

Boutique I have been eyeing has billable hour requirement of 1500-1600 and comes with a 20-25% paycut. Is this a stupid idea and should I grind it out until I can move in house? Will this ruin my opportunities down the road?
