Does it make sense to jump to another firm for a 6K-8K increase in base? Currently making 82.8K as an analyst and was offered a position that’s a level above my current one however the new base is 88K. I think I could get it up to 90K but that’s as far as it’ll go. I’ve been applying for months and this seems like it’s pretty much my last option and I’m desperate to leave my current role but I don’t want to make the wrong decision. 2.5 YOE.

Desperate to leave, haven’t had any luck elsewhere….you should jump.

You’re underpaid now and you’ll be underpaid again but if you’re in a bad spot then might as well try something else out.

Aren’t small steps better than no steps? I mean not a huge leap but still progress. You can leave again if some other opportunity arises.

Target much higher in negotiations and make the jump. You’re in the drivers seat right now. It doesn’t make sense to leave for less than a 25% bump, especially if your responsibilities are going up (albeit on paper). If you can’t get above 95k, don’t make the jump (imo)

like

The 88K is after negotiations. I was offered 85K at first then they bumped it to 88K after I refused. I’m hoping to hit 90K after further negotiations but it’s not guaranteed. I don’t see myself getting 95K anywhere at this point, since I’ve been applying and interviewing for months and this is the first offer I’ve gotten. I agree with your points though. This is a very low offer.

OP- if you got passed over for a promotion from Analyst to SA, then you may honestly want to look at a career outside of consulting as this is a pretty standard promotion, at least on the LLP side of the house. With that said, you may have also just gotten horrendous CCs who don’t stick up for you. But again, the Promotion to SA kind of requires a reason to not promote you. Not trying to kick you when you’re down at all, just trying to provide some perspective…

Um no. Thanks but no thanks. I love consulting and I’m pretty damn good at it, according to the feedback I’ve gotten from my team and manager. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be getting this much responsibility and management over other teammates if I was horrible at my job. My PL was pretty unresponsive before performance results and has now been even more unresponsive and dodging my meeting requests ever since performance results were released. I’ve done everything + more for my team and the +1s I’m involved in. And this is true for other analysts on my project as well. I’m in AFS.

I was in this position a few years ago. My answer was no—but I was chasing compensation and the opportunity for new responsibilities where I’d learn again. Consider what you’re looking to get out of leaving and if this offer really represents that

I put another year of searching in. The whole process stunk, but I ended up finding a role that paid another 15k more then the prior offers and better aligned with my actual career growth.

I’m not going to say stay/go. I am saying it’s okay to turn down an offer if the opportunity is not really attractive enough

Hell no. I was in the same boat and got 120+5 from KPMG.

Also this smells like PwC’s experience associate leveling.

What’s your reason for leaving?

And what’s the quality of your network at Accenture? That bump is pretty low and won’t make a noticeable change to your take-home. If you have a strong network at Accenture that opens doors for you, then I would stay. If you don’t, then maybe it’s worth it to leave.

Then it definitely sounds worth it!

like

Is this consulting or advisory? Seems pretty low for consultant level at Deloitte.

Consulting, GPS Human Capital

Make sure you’re factoring in any un-vested 401k contributions you might lose if you leave or similar hidden costs - could cut down that 6k gap quickly

Consider thinking about what the next jump will be if you stayed (and got promoted or left later) versus leaving now and getting promoted or leaving from the new firm. This will heavily depend on the sum of your experiences over that time.

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
