Hi! I have 3 YOE in consulting, just got a corp. strat offer I am excited about (industry + role), but comp is 17% lower than current:

(1) is this pay cut normal when moving to corp strat. at this level? Can't find much on Glassdoor

(2) Is progression typically slower and less certain in corp strat.? If so, does that mean it'll take longer to reach the same comp trajectory?

(3) How would you approach this decision? Look elsewhere vs. stay abit longer?

Hours worked is less so per hour comp is better and better WLB

Progression in industry is always slower including comp growth. Usually you can’t move up until someone moves on or you change teams. Don’t expect consulting style comp or promo increases

Take it if you enjoy the industry + company

Is it definitely corp strat? Or is it transformation strat? Pay cut can be normal but generally corp development can still pay very well.

It isn't great. But it depends on your current salary. -17% doesn't mean the same thing if you were making £120k vs £50, and both are plausible at 3 YOE. Comp trajectory will be slower, and almost completely flat in a declining industry

Yes, Yes, depends on priorities

Why is education deemed more valuable on a pay scale than experience? Employers will pay someone with a degree and no experience a greater salary, than someone who has exhibited the experience. Understanding that the degreed person committed to school and finished, yet that doesn't diminish what the not degreed has committed to and accomplished in their careers. This has to stop!
