I’ll most likely be promoted to director next year. My projected salary, with 20% promotion raise, next year would be around 180. EY offered me 190 for manager. Do I take the EY offer? Worried I would be stuck at the top of the pay band, but I would be making slightly more than my raise next year

Stay and keep the title. With bonus you’ll outpace EY M - even if they say they’ll fast track you to D at EY that might never happen. You could make D then try for SM at EY (which I think is equivalent?)

like

EY SM is not equal to KPMG Director. At EY, you can go to partnership straight from SM, while at KPMG, you must be an MD before you can be a partner

I am also at the top of my pay band and it’s glorious. Even a small % bonus is still a lot of money. Also, I can’t leave even if I wanted to bc no other firm (besides Accenture) will match my salary bc it’s too high lol. But I don’t particularly mind, it’s nice not caring about getting promoted when you’re already getting paid. Being at the top of the pay band is absolutely not something to be worried about

Don’t. Former boss at EY jumped from D for top pay band and his largest raise in 5 years was 1.3%.

Also for context: 15 signing bonus for EY. Does that change anything?

Stay with KPMG in that case if you have a decent shot at becoming an MD. Maybe ask KPMG if they can match the EY offer given the market, or at least give you a retention bonus to stay

A bird in hand as it goes. Promotions are never guaranteed. What if you don’t get promoted to director next year in Sept? You’ve got 11 months until then.

Wait if they give you Manager, then when you promote to SM you get a pretty big bump. I’d think you’ll be better for the next few years if you’re on track for SM

The 10k bump is ~6%. If it were 30% plus, a move might make sense. Seems like staying where you are makes the most sense

Dang! 20% for promotion to Director? I got 8%.

I'd stay until you make director and leverage it for opportunities elsewhere.

You can't bank on any promises of a quick path to SM.

What's more important to you? Guaranteed money now or potential future title (not guaranteed) that comes with less money?

I hear you. I am in a very similar situation currently. Assistant Director in a small consulting firm at $170k on track to D this year. Standing offer from EY for M3 at 195k with 20k sign in bonus. SM at EY not happening until 2 more years. Not sure what counter offer I am getting (if anything) from current firm, although there is a good chance. WLB at current firm is good, so confused on whats the best foot forward.
