Folks exiting consulting at the Director level, what comp level are you expecting? Recruiter is pitching me $160k + min. 35% bonus. The $160k feels a bit low. Thoughts?

@P1 when you mention the word "firm" it traditionally represents a professional services organization (law/consulting/advertising). When you broadly speak about industry, you talk about companies and not firms. Nobody calls FedEx or Amazon a firm.

I don’t know who needs to hear this (mostly As, Cs, SCs, and some Ms) but here goes.

You are important to the project, but never so important that you cannot leave the project or firm for better opportunities. Being in hero mode is good where you save the day, everyday - but in fact that is neither advisable for your progression nor a recommended practice for the firm. If you have been performing and have had decent social skills, you will not have burnt a bridge when you leave.
