You and me both kiddo. Everything is at least a $100k pay cut and I’m in the Bay Area.
I’m northeast, usually my rates are comparable to NYC / Boston rates
There are in house planning/transactional roles, but if you’ve been a SM for 4 years, they are likely going to be a pay cut.
I left before I had that much tenure (1 year as a SM) and before the post COVID comp run up so a director level role was a small but nice bump.
How did you find the role? Did you hire a recruiter? Everything I see out there on the planning side still heavily involves compliance.
An external recruiter/headhunter reached out to me about the role.
Where are you looking that planning roles have any significant amount of compliance? I have a team of 4 and our total amount of compliance between the 4 of us might be 100 hours a year combined between all of us (likely less) - really just reporting that is directly related with o transactions or planning that we’ve done.
Do you mind sharing the recruiting firm?
