How big would a pay increase need to be for you to move cities? A recruiter once mentioned a role that paid much more, but it meant relocating. The money sounded great, but the life reset felt heavy.

I think it really depends on the city and the job. It would probably need to be at least 30% more than what I'm currently making and a city that I actually want to move to. I like where I'm at but I'm willing to move for the right opportunity.

I feel the same. For me it would need to be a meaningful jump, probably 25–30% at least, and a city I can actually see myself building a life in. Money alone rarely compensates for a move you resent.

Entirely dependent on the cost of living in the city. I would be open to taking a step back in pay if everything cost significantly less. You could actually end up better off.

That is a really grounded take. I have seen people earn more on paper but feel poorer because costs exploded. I would seriously consider a lateral or even slightly lower salary if quality of life genuinely improved.

I’m getting put up for manager a year early. I have PPMD ,SM, and M support. Pretty much support from all the key individuals on my team and in my service line. Since it is a year early if i don’t get promoted this round I know it’ll come mid year but I do expect a good salary increase still without the promo. If I don’t get the promo nor a salary increase that I’m okay with, how do I let my partner know that I will begin to entertain outside offers? some of which have offered the manager role.

Friend of mine was supposed to receive an offer (told verbally) from Deloitte and then just found out they are pausing on hiring the role. How common is that? Seems wildly unprofessional that none of the partners called and instead it was the recruiter conveying that news. At McKinsey, if that happened, the head of the practice or the office would personally make the phone call at the very least.
