Has anyone here left one B4 for another (in advisory/consulting services) for higher comp? What was your experience? Feeling like my current B4 is not paying market price but could get that starting at a new firm. Just not sure if it’s worth learning all the admin stuff that comes with starting at a new company

I think there’s a threshold where the $$$ makes sense. You can leave any time for a 15-20% raise, but you give up some of your match, some retention bonus etc. where the money doesn’t make sense.

Where as if you switch firms and service lines and get a 30+% raise how does your comp track look 2-3 years down the line? Is it still 30% higher than your peers (think people 2-3 years above you) or is it just in line?

I switched a while back for 80%+ bump and it was definitely worth it. Learning the admin stuff isn’t that hard as it’s a similar process just different technology. The bigger concern is if you are looking to stay in consulting (want to make partner) you can only do this so many times

What is reasonable to ask in a potential new job if you’re currently earning $50K. Is $15K too much? What’s a good range?

Does anyone think it’s out of the question to ask for a 20% pay increase without a promotion? My duties on our team are closer to Director-level and no other Senior PM is managing half of what I am, so I feel like I should be compensated fairly.

Someone bring me back down to earth if I’m asking too much
