Hope to get some advice from you all. I earn $135k (125k + $10k bonus (7%)). I received an offer for $105k base + $10k signing + 14% bonus. Although the base is $20k lower, if I do well I could get promoted to Director in 2 yrs where base is similar to what I earn today and bonus close to 40%. However that promo is not guaranteed. I believe I am a competitive candidate with great references. I want to leave consulting but don’t think it’s worth it for this amount. Appreciate your thoughts!

Why not push for the Director role now?

Agreed. I think it’s an inflated title!!

2 years is a helluva long time...long enough to wait it out here and get a more 🔥🔥🔥 offer

Agreed thank you!!

Stay where you are unless WLB/burnout is a factor

What’s your YOE

Thanks for that perspective. But it’s hard to swallow the $20k in today’s world commitments and responsibilities.

That’s a very big cut for a made up opportunity they’re trying to sell.

I’d pass unless you really need to get out of consulting

I would pass.
