I really like my firm and team, but the firm pays below market for the work that we do, wlb is crap like everywhere else. I am interviewing with firms that would pay more, e.g., T2 small and large. I’ve been a solid performer, very strong project and bd feedback. I’m up for promotion during the next cycle. I really vibe with my team, and I wonder if I can keep an offer or two handy to extort from hr comp match. Is it a good idea? Will it affect my relationship with the MD (salaried)?

That’s the only way to play the game. Ask politely but firmly if they will match they offer and be prepared to walk if they don’t. And then bring your A game till your last day. It’s all professional and nothing personal

Thank you. Yeah, that’s the goal.. The workload here is too high to ignore being paid below market
