Is it wrong? In a word, no. If they valued you, they would have given you an equitable pay bump to go along with the title. This seems to be happening a lot right now with employers. Dangling titles and chump change salary bumps instead of actually hiring enough staff for the work load.

This happens quite often at ESPN! In name only are you given a promotion, but not a pay bump. They sometimes bump you in the yearly bonus, but the merit increase is flat. And management wonders why so many folks are leaving.

Hi all, I just got a job offer at PwC for a senior consultant position. The salary is 30% above my total comp right now, but I’m just worried about the amount of work I will have to put in compared to my amazing work life balance now. Does anyone have any experience moving from industry to consulting? I need some advice on what to do. I’m still early in my career (1.4yoe) so I feel like I shouldn’t care too much about wlb, but at the same time, I don’t want my mental health to suffer either.
