I’ve worked in both State and Consulting and the answer is that it really depends. With the state, you’ll move up a few levels for like 5 years and then be stopped until someone retires and a manager position opens. Typically, though, that position will go to someone else who’s been with the State longer, unless you’re just way far and above in skill level and there are no buddy situations occurring. The consulting stuff completely depends on your company. Some companies don’t have room for growth and others do. Your raises will be higher in the long run, though, even if you do not move up in position.
The answer to your question depends on many things and probably fishbowl can't really answer it. It depends on what you're looking for and what the specific company or agency offers. Making board generalizations: many state agencies offer better WLB, making it easier to parent, offer topline benefit packages and lucrative retirements. Consulting firms offer better pay today and potentially decent retirement and standard benefits. One thing I would say based on your message. If you got your PE and you are a decent, reliable employee you should reasonably expect better than 'low average' in this market. Unless you live somewhere weird or there's some big piece of information missing from the message, everyone is scrambling for talent, so should expect better than 'low'.
