I already left for greener pastures. 10M and we’re out of the rat race entirely. Looking like age 52 and 54.

BCG1 is currently 51. They “already” left consulting one year ago and thus will have $10m at age 52. Idiot comment. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Same, also figured around $10M

I had a number, then realized there was no amount of money that excited me to stay.

I made the jump with a net worth of about 650k.

Should I be happy with just receiving my 3rd promotion in less than 2.5 years to Senior Consultant? Company growing fast, tenured employees getting burnt out/leaving and room opened up to move up quickly. Change in leadership recently as well. Was offered 17.5% increase and this is my first job out of school. I don’t want to grow too fast, but this seems too good to be true…

I have received an offer from KPMG Global Services, HR said there will be 10-20% yearly bonus apart from fixed CTC. But % numbers are not mentioned in the offer letter, Just they mentioned it as " You will be eligible for Performance bonus as per the company policy".

When I checked with HR for bonus % is not mentioned in the offer letter, she said... its not mentioned for everyone. 10-20% is common across all employees.

Is this okay ? OR anyone have their bonus % in the offer

If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?
