I am making around $60k as experienced associate. How much of a salary jump can I expect if I exit to industry right now?

^no way associates in industry are making $80K. Probably not a very large bump at the associate level. If you can somehow manage your way into a senior associate position you're probably looking around $85K, but that's for 3-4 years experience. With only 2 busy seasons under your belt (assuming this upcoming one is your second), you're probably looking around $65K - $70K max. And that's NYC. Subtract $10-$15K for smaller markets.

Wait for senior at least.

Switch to consulting, I'm 59k staff 1.

^what market?

Ohio

Typical audit or tax staff 1's are at 50k

For the market it's not a bad package. I'd say look to NYC for greater opportunity if that's of interest. Be prepared for the small living spaces though.

^agree with rsm look for NYC for most $$ and consider living in NJ or Staten Island where you can find rent in the low 1000s instead of 2-3k

^might as well just stay in your home market and live somewhere nice. For low 1000s you're basically living in the ghetto (assuming you're talking 1 bedroom or studio).

80k

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am.

It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.
