Consultants and finance people will skew the average higher. I was making 110k but have classmates from education, journalism, etc who weren’t making much at all. For people from non finance/consulting backgrounds the dollar value ROI of the degree is certainly higher. For most finance/consulting types we tend to think more about the long-term benefits or pivoting to an industry we’re passionate about.

I’m already making $200k base. 27, I can’t think of a reason to go other than it looks fun and I’d have an MBA. $200k investment makes me pause.

I cleared 2 rounds of interviews with CGI. The very next day someone from the management team called me up and very readily agreed with me for my expected salary. He said he shall quickly ask the HR team to process my offer letter.

What shall I do now? I am currently under the Notice Period.

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing. Had a very successful interview with Amazon but recruiter is working hard trying to place me and said there’s no knowing how long to find a team. Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?
