How are you surviving off of $79k in the Baay?

I think the key is to just identify a role you truly like, and go all in. It’s not just about leaving consulting or whatever. Maybe that sounds fluff, but I truly like the company and the specific team too, so going “all in” was just me being confident!

Don’t exit yet. Consulting years are worth more than the average Joe job years. Get another year under your belt then plan your exit.

@AC 1, if OP just joined Big 4 in an entry level role and they’ve only been with the firm for 6 months doing tech implementation stuff, I’d assume they know nothing. It takes a solid few months (hell maybe a year or so), to really know wth you’re doing for tech implementation; understanding the system, getting certified, etc.

@SC1 would you still say it’s a bad move? @BCG, living with friends, Trader Joe’s, and not eating out haha

If there is no room for long term growth at this company or substantial increase in pay, I would hold off

Analyst to Manager seems like 5-6years timeline. I’m assuming 7-10% raise per year. Company is (Sony, Blizzard, Warner Bros, etc)

Well with that in mind, go for it.

What is a typical range to hit Manager at a large firm (6-8)?

Coming in on 3 years in the consulting game and I'm glad I grinded it out. I'm now looking at 130k+ offers in industry but I might stick it out for a fee more years

What’s your role? Tech, strategy, risk, etc

What firm are you at OP?

Big4, ~6 months

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
