When negotiating Salary, do you mention Glassdoor, Levels.fyi, or a separate source? Or neither?? Looking at a role I’m currently a candidate for and the discrepancy of pay between Glassdoor and Levels.fyi is absurd (IE Glassdoor average salary is almost 40K higher than Levels.fyi) Glassdoor also has more “data points”, for lack of a better term, than Levels.fyi for this role.
Thoughts??
Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.
I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.
Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.
Should I stay or should I go?

Get out of risk ASAP. That will stifle your growth especially if you are interested in strategy. You will be stuck making significantly less than others and have no translatable skills
Do you know where I should apply to? Not sure if T2 or MBB would take me. I could apply to the other Big 4’s but it might be the same thing as EY
Too many people doing risk, so not a very specialized skill to get into as a young professional.
Would a payments niche be more valuable long term? I know that landscape is constantly changing
Get out of risk while you can. Industry might be slower progression but you can always go back to consulting after a year or two as it’ll be much easier getting your foot in the door with strategy experience
Do you think it needs to be strategy consulting firms specifically? Or should it just be strategy anywhere?
