Looking at that too :) trying to evaluate making SM1 next year and staying vs an exit where I’ll make 280 y1 and likely 260-300 y2/3/4

What's your service line!

What's your base and bonus like now? If you're at 220k base as M, plus 20% bonus, then you should know that 260-300k isn't unusual for SMs in your practice. If you're making 140k base with 5% bonus, then SM won't get you to 260-300k next year, so you should exit if you prioritize short term money.

If you are at EY it’s going to be a long time to get to 260, a lot of MDs start at that. I’d jump.

Does your firm have a crowd sourced doc to figure this out?

I’d leave if the jump is much more significant

Hello people, how common is a Amazon to PWC move ?
I’m interviewing for a Senior Associate role and TC seems to be more competitive than role in L5.

TC $135k Base PWC -$81$ + Bonuses ( 50k$)

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.

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?
