Currently A at KPMG (<2 YOE) with high certainty of promotion to SA in Sept. Enjoy working with my team, great WLB, and strong network for someone at my level. Current base = 75k with promotion bringing it to 92k minimum.

I have two offers at ~105k base, 15k signing for C and SA roles at other B4 which is a ~50% raise from current base but ~10-15% raise from SA base. Is it worth it to hop this early in my career or should I stick it out for a while to build more experience?

Who are the other firms? That’s a huge component. From C and SA guessing it’s def D and maybe PwC?

can you elaborate on this “stuff culture” you saw

I love KPMG am very happy but I'd probably follow the money. The SA promo is easy to get so no problem hopping now.

Also, I'd care more about the group you'd be working with. Does the current or the potential new groups more closely align with what you want to do?

Identical group within tech consulting and KPMG provides more certainty about specializing in certain areas of interest for me. Interviewers could not assure that would be the case at the other B4.

I was at $90k as an A and $100k as an SA at KPMG.

Take the offer and leave. Your comp will be higher at the new firm(s) and be more aligned with market conditions.

Commercial

I would take it. Just keep in mind WLB at the other firms may not be as good but you could always go back if you don’t like it.

If you’re in WD, don’t leave and exit 6-12 months after your first full project as senior

Took my first vacation (1 week) in over a year to visit family. Was bombarded by emails from one partner asking me to complete non-time sensitive motions, which he hasn’t even bothered to review. This is my third firm in three years (first I left as I was severely underpaid, second I left for a 100k increase in salary), but this lack of respect for my boundaries has made me want to move again once I’ve completed 18 mos. Bad? They don’t do this to the other associates (all male).

Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
