Currently making 85. Got an offer for 135 from smaller boutique. Benefits aren’t as great, bonus is smaller. Job is pretty much same, bit of a step up. Current firm countered with 100 (Cont.)

With the bonus, would the counteroffer seem tangible? It's easier to stay and keep your connections, plus if you reject the counter it'll be harder to come back later if you wanted to

35% is a lot higher. Cash is King. Fast track in guaranteed

@A1 It definitely puts in more close to a range worth considering. With bonus it would be 115 vs. 135 (wouldn’t get a bonus this year at boutique) then end of next year if I did get promoted it would be pretty much close to neck and neck. Boutique firm has more SMEs in my specific area, but do have a lot of good relationships at current firm as well as flexibility

Made a very similar decision to leave big4 to jump from 90k to 135k. Have not regretted it as it still saved me at least two years of playing the game at my big4 firm. They can tell you “fast track to promotion” all they want, but I’d take the cash in hand now. Good luck!

Good advice

take the cash in hand, if you’re at big 4 you can always come back after a year or two if you don’t like the smaller firm, and they’ll pay you more too.

And fast track to promotion next year which would put me about in line with the offer. Thoughts??

@D1 and @SM1 well really it’s only a difference of 17k for total comp considering the 15% bonus if I stay (won’t get a bonus this year at the other firm), 401k matching and stock bonus that I wouldn’t get at the boutique firm...

I made move from 85k to a newer consulting firm not necessarily boutique per say. Now I'm at 127k and the small firm consulting vibe is much better. However my firm preaches better bonus than B4. Minimum 20%

Is it Slalom we are talking about?

Why would you leave money on the table? Scared to make the move and take a chance?

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).
