I took the exit opp with Amazon from KPMG. It may not be the exit I wanted but atleast it’s the exit I needed.
Tc : 130 -> 230 k , yoe: 12 (relevant exp: 7 ), level manager to L5. I felt suffocated at KPMG with 3 of the leaders who supported me leaving in the last 10 months.

I think I know you. Which practice did you exit from?

Also I should’ve pushed harder for L6, but the jump was was pretty good and I am okay with maybe delivering at a lower level for a year to adjust myself. Also I needed some mental health space so a lower level plus higher pay seemed like the right thing to do.

what role? I think L5 is good for you. Amazon does things all whacko and it kinda sucks.

You were only making $130k as a manager at KPMG? Wow

I know newly promoted SA from college (3 YOE) making $100k

So happy for you and the exit! You definitely deserve it!

I was a Manager at a Big4 doing PM fed work earlier this year. I decided to join a small firm to pursue cloud sales. However, the position is extremely technical in nature and I'm required to speak tech ( kubernetes, openshift, CICD) to potential clients.
