155 for a manager is steep

I left as a manager 2 and got a salary in the 120s with a 15% bonus pool. Puts me at around 140k or so. This is a lower cost of living area. 155k might require a high manager or low SM

Kpmg1 any luck? What roles are u looking at?

SM / Director of IA

EY1 depends. If it’s high COL I plan to make 130k as first year manager and, moving out of PA, 155k is not out of sight

Manager

First year SM left and found one in LA @ 165k

Manager or SM depending on COL and opportunity of course. Most opportunities that come my way now are in the 110-150 range.

Tips on how to deal with my direct report, the CMO, that won't honor the bonus structure in my offer letter?

Not sure who else in the company is involved/aware - he's my only point of contact. I'm 6 mths into the job and enjoy it, but this is a major red flag. Should I find a new job or hold my ground and see what happens?
