Given the utter lack of context, you're likely looking at a comp range of $50-500k. Hope that helps!

It would be helpful if you provided us with a bit more context about yourself. With 16 YOE, are you more specialized in a certain type of consulting? Industry? What external experiences do you have? What technical skills do you have? Where (industry) in the current world attracts you the most? What type of compensation range would you accept?

like

Manager grade, 16yoe, recruiters will look at you for a senior BI role, possibly team leaders.
Maybe if you're ready to move away from the tools you could look for head of analytics roles.
Look to local recruiters for market rate pay range info.

16yoe in consulting sounds like you've been institutionalized to the ways of consulting.
Figure out what you want to be outside consulting, build a network in that field with people outside consulting, use your network to get a job.
Industry is going to be different to consulting which you may have to come to terms with. Depending on your exit role will depend on how much your consulting skills will be valued.

Oh my God. How have you even lasted that long?

I would start by asking yourself what you might want to do? Once you figure that out align yourself to that skill set.

With 16 yoe you must be a partner! Why would you want to leave with that kind of comp?

Still a manager

Hi Fishes, I've got offers from BNY Mellon and Siemens and I'm confused about which organization to join.
BNY is offering me 26LPA (they don't have a variable component, instead they have a bonus component that is not fixed) and QA Lead position and Siemens is offering me 29LPA (total CTC is going 32.8LPA including variables) fixed and the position is Senior Test Engineer.
Please suggest which company will be better to join?
