I don’t think the extreme responsibilities of becoming a manager are worth the minimal pay raise

My old job promoted to assistant manager with shit pay and extra work. Wasn’t worth it. But at my new role as a manager the pay was about 9000 more and I only have one direct report. Fwiw I’m a single female living in Philly so it was worth it for me.

Not every firm is up-and-out. Huron is generally ok with people who don't want to jump through the hoops to go up for promotion. There are only so many M and D slots and plenty of competition for them.

Same. I’ve observed it a few times now as well. The switch to Manager is rough and if you get staffed with a crappy partner for that first project or two, it seems nearly sadistic. That said, that’s the job/career. The numerous replies here confirm it’s the same everywhere. For me at least, this realization confirmed my doubts that consulting isn’t where I want to focus my energy and talents.

I’m stuck in my old pay scale but have gotten promotions and raises quickly with more on the horizon. A recruiter reached out with a new role for 2-2.5x more than I currently make doing something similar. I love my company and the people I work with but the money isn’t there. Is it worth trying to get a counter to stay if I get the bigger offer?
