After we hit 300k+ HHI, the focus became WLB. We’re in HCOL but it’s more than enough to afford our mortgage, car payment, leisure, savings, etc.

Wfh: (-$20,000)
WLB: $$20,000)

Thank you friend

To make me ditch and switch:
Wfh: +35% to my current TC
Wlb: +30% to my current TC
No wfh and no wlb: +60%

Yeah fair enough. I’m sitting at a hair under 4 YOE in a functional consulting role. Turned down an offer recently for 30% more because it would’ve been worse WLB, benefits and travel.

Following! Considering taking a $13k cut in base (currently at $163k) but $10k more in TC (bonus, retirement contribution) to exit to industry for better WLB…

Yeah definitely. Heard 45 hour weeks and really good benefits. Think salary growth won’t be as “guaranteed / expected” as consulting but think there are growth opps for sure

Currently WFH full time and make 95kbase+bonus. Recently turned down a job for worse WLB for 125k

I think 140+ is my price tag

I'm a recent grad who accepted an entry-level full-time job offer with Capital One. I knew that MBB and other consulting firms rarely ever negotiate salary with new grads, so I didn't with Capital One as well. Was that a mistake? What were the likelihoods that they would have raised my salary? I had no other competing offers at the time

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
