260k base? You jumped 100k moving to a smaller firm? What are you?

Can you give us a clue as to where you work now?

This is a very difficult question without more details.

Often I’ve seen moves to industry result in higher base / TC, but then lower rate of growth. However, that is not a rule.

How many years are you at your current firm? I would assume that 100k raise was not a single jump. If so please let me know how you do it!!

Does anyone freeze with deadlines, and if so what works for you? Whenever I have a deadline my brain freezes and refuses to work. It used to be that my brain worked overtime right before a deadline - now it refuses to work until after a deadline. I think this is because all of my deadlines are internal and I’ve never had a partner look at anything immediately after a deadline. This is affecting my work obviously - any tips would be useful and appreciated!
