IMO moving for anything less than 20% raise in base is foolish... you’ll get 5-8% if you’re a strong performer by staying and keep the stability of your network...

Why so caught up in compensation? Seems like both jobs will afford you a very similar lifestyle. The question is: which job is the one you want to get out of bed for every day? Enjoyment (or lack there of) will make a much bigger difference on your life than 15k (8 after tax)

SF? I hope you’re making $5B/year to afford that!

Agree with SM1. Need more than 10% to jump.

Sounds great to me. Not sure how so many people here think you can get it all outside of Consulting - if you can get higher pay with fewer hours / better work life balance, why would anyone stay?

I currently live in bay area too.. so location wise it is ok.

Hmm.. interesting.
I thought.. moving to industry can sometime move lower base.. so surprised by your comments that need 10%+

You will be stuck there for a while.

Growth speed, D1

Is the company mature? I'd care less about eq, but if it is growing that's where the action is vs. salary and bonus...

Reporting to chief of staff doesn’t sound conducive to a great career path

@A2-fair point. It is not a very clear differentiatir in terms of enjoyment.. consulting had it's positives.. and I hope this new job will have some too. Though, more longer term view.. vs 2-4month project basis.

@D2-why would being in high visibility of CSO an CEO be conducive??

Op - if you don’t take that job, wanna refer me? Everyone saying don’t go for less than $x is crazy talk. If the opportunity, quality of life, growth potential, culture, etc is better, then go. Being consumed by a couple thousand dollars is a horrible way to think about your career.

Hello Everyone,

I have received offer letter from Optum Global Solutions India recently and I am seriously considering joining it(I also have offers from Deloitte USI and Verizon).
My breakup annexure mentions 4 components apart from RRP and PF. Basic, HRA, Flexi, Special Allowance. Either the Special Allowance or the Flexi is not included in the CTC mentioned in offer letter. So I want to understand how the Flexi and Special Allowance are paid monthly. Can someone please help?
