Deep in interviews with a boutique firm that specializes in what my current practice (currently @ big 4) does. If I got an offer it would be a title upgrade C -> SC, and “in theory” a base pay increase of 30%. However, I don’t necessarily want to leave. I don’t mind where I’m at/who I work with. Want to use this as leverage to get a comp increase. How would I present it to mgmt? I know they won’t give me 30% or SC, I’m simply trying to use it as leverage for a raise. Thoughts?

Also, my coach is pushing to put me up for early promo come the end of this year.

Could you get an offer and then tell your coach to leverage as part of an early promo pay increase?
What would your promotion adjustment be anyways? May not be worth trying to use the offer if you’re going to get a big raise anyways..

Are you saying if I get the offer now, present it to my coach to see if I could get SC and it’s associated bump at THIS year end vs waiting another 12 months from now when I would in theory be promoted to SC?

Right but only if you’ve confirmed you’ll get the early promo. Honestly having the SC jump is good for the title and you could then go interview for SC positions for even more and then use that for leverage.

Who do I bring a potential offer up to like this? My coach? My project senior manager I’m staffed on?

I would guess your coach or whoever the decision maker is for your team and is in control of your salary. Again, be careful as doing this would limit your potential to leverage an offer for more compensation in the future. Maybe it would be best to wait and see if you get promoted and then go find a competing offer to negotiate an even bigger bump with?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
