If advisory, very little on base salary. We use a cohort model where all the base salary are defined by staff level and city tier. So all SA in Chicago in the same practice with the same years of experience get paid the same. Bonus is the only variable. So you would need to push for why you deserve a higher cohort band. At 126k, you're already near the top of the band. Since Chicago is a tier 2 city, that might be close to the max.
Unfortunately there isn’t much wiggle room. Due to the cohort model, all SA3s within advisory will get paid the same in Chicago. The only levers you can pull are the signing bonus - 20k is pretty high for an SA tbh, or level - I doubt they would bring you in as a manager if you have already received an offer as an SA
Yeah they said my LOE is too low for manager. Was gonna try for more signing bonus but even then feels a bit low for me to justify the move.
Pretty low YOE for a SA3 isn’t it?
I think they wanted to at least give me a salary that’s higher than my current one
No wiggle room on the base or vacation. Maybe the bonus though
