Niche area of Cyber. ~5 years experience but was making $140k + bonus after 4. Left consulting because my firm wasn’t fast tracking me and I felt like I was ready. Best move I could have made for myself. I miss the people but I’m working half the hours for way more $ with limited travel.

4 years after undergrad in our Strategy practice; $140k base salary

IT systems auditing for banks after 5 years of experience

This type of work gets a bad rep for being “boring” but it pays out the ass for those who stick with it. Not to mention it’s a pretty much recession-proof gig. Generally pretty high turnover rates so company’s fork over the cash to retain talent.

So to give some background, I currently have about 6-7 YOE in the BA/PM space, and my current position is 100k, with 10k annual bonus. The position I hold is as a Senior Business Analyst at the company I'm currently at.

I received an offer for a Salesforce Functional Business Analyst at Accenture for 128k annually with a 15k signing bonus. I'm hesitant due to the lower title, as I want to move back into PM work, and feel as if I'm taking a step down. Also, concerned with the WLB at Accenture.

Got an offer for non-tech PgM (finance side) in Google Cloud. They told me I'm on the boarder of L5 but decided put me at L4.
