EY & PwC are singing their siren songs. Probably wouldn't leave current role without a nice signing bonus (to pay off remaining school loans). What's a realistic ask? 20%? Already have top tier MBA.

That's steep, I don't know if you'll get 20% signing bonus. But I wouldn't change for anything less than a 30% raise in base, not worth losing the network for anything less.

What siren songs?

Pide piper song

The Great Pretender?
Love the One You're With?
Baby Please Don't Go?

The possibilities are endless

You guys haven't heard the Eeeee-yyyyy song? Or the PwC one? Use Google!

Siren song? Not quite!

I just want to know how are the seniors in terms of helping and letting me grasp the process like shadowing etc happens or I would be bombarded with work?
I am a bit worried.

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.

13 yr outside Sales Experience in the B2B space, multiple roles/companies. Current quota is $15MCAD, I usually do not bad in quota but lately has shifted to rewarding medicorciy and "pooling" some numbers countrywide which i really dont like.
Current comp is $85k Base and $115 OTE with a ceiling of $150k CAD/$120k US. Feel it's too little for my experience and they are taking perks away by the day.
Thinking of moving to I tech sales? Anyone else do it? What's comp look like?
