Got recruited from a boutique firm to one of the big 4. How to put in two weeks with grace? Love my manager but not the lack of standard processes or processes in general. Any advice on a bittersweet two weeks notice?

First of all congrats! Having bittersweet feelings about your place you're leaving can be seen as a privilege - it's better than absolutely hating the place. I don't think this is too tough but also doesn't have to be a whole production. Something like "It's been a great X years, but I've decided to pursue a new opportunity. I really appreciate blah blah blah" Sounds like you had a good manager so they should be happy for you.

They were so happy for me! Thank you for the advice! I hope my new boss is just as wonderful. 🤞

I’m currently a Manager with 8 YOE, half of it in a mid-tier consulting firm and the other in a Big 4. Starting to look for an exit to industry and aiming for 220-250K base. Currently at $170K base and specializing in cyber security - is this too aggressive a target and if so, what should be my target for base + anything else (with the split)?

Got an offer at ZS for Consultant, and recruiter said it's the highest they can do for C. (165k plus COLA for NYC) and 15k signing.
My question is that this is the highest what kind of raises can one get, and how much target bonus is realistic at C level? 7YOE, M1 at Big 4.

I started at a new firm this year in January. I had a billable goal that was given to me mid year of around 1750 house for the year. I am nowhere near that and definitely will not meet the goal. I had so many non billable hours I was forced to take when I first came in. I worked my ass off in busy season. At my previous firm I never fell short of hours as it was B4. This firm is mid sized and more focused on WLB. My question is how bad do you think this will affect my comp??
