I think upward progression is way slower for sure but it’s not necessarily bad.

My wife left for a client. Lateral base salary move, better title, and her bonus target is 25% (firm often pays multiple such as 110% of target). She works fewer total hours and has a very predictable bonus. She won’t get promoted for easily 5 years unless someone leaves, but better WLB and very solid comp overall. Her salary increases will likely be nominal and maybe keep up with inflation in the near term

If you’re on a high growth path, stay the course for a bit, but know at some point money isn’t a motivator over flexibility and free time. Ignoring EY specific issues. 80% of Cosniltants at top firms leave within 5 years for a reason.

Should I transition to a tech sales job? Thoughts on risk vs reward? I am 34 yo, married with a baby incoming.

I have an MBA from the University of Chicago, not that it matters much in sales. I have always been in a consulting role but I think I can make more in sales. I have a competitive personality and I am bored.

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…
