Experienced hire Manager here, informed before Christmas that I’ll be taking another lap but not because of performance (5/5 on scats and all operating at next level) or metrics (22mm in MR) but the only reason is I need more time in the “saddle”… During this time, I’ve been replying to recruiters and after a PPMD interview last week, I was offered an SM role at a smaller firm with a base pay increase of 45% (225k) over my current salary. Very much considering this… thoughts?

Deloitte hires 20k people a year. You can always come back. If you aren’t getting a promotion, it’s clear you aren’t a high priority.

The fact Deloitte is paying Managers (on the brink of SM) $155k base tells you all you need to know. Leave.

Why not interview with other Tier 2s, Parthenon or Strategy & and still get SM level and start at 250+

D2, sounds like you went to EYP, where D is equivalent since there is no M level.

You could easy exit to PWC or EY for SM, I know 4 people who did it in the past year but title change won’t mean higher role cause they both do Director to Partner

like

No EY is split path you go sm -> PP or MD.

I used to be an EY SM fwiw.

Do it for the rest of us trying to get to that level. Get paid!

Ey doesn’t do Director

EY has ED/MD. Director is internal facing.

Take it! You can always boomerang back with those stats if you don't like the new firm in a higher role at uncle D. You're being screwed here by politics with those numbers, and your current salary isn't really reflecting the value you bring to the table.

Can anyone tell me the exact role for Quality analysis in Accenture. Thanks in advance.

How do you respond when someone asks your salary? Give me both- where you tell a number and where you don't. Also if I'm giving out a number (obviously to a close one), should I say my package(including stocks)? or my in hand salary before tax? or in hand salary after tax?
