Do it. I make $100k as a manager at EY and looking to leave as I’m underpaid.

like

Yea. I’d leave and if you ever come back if I’m a year or more you can command a higher salary.

I am very similar to you (a couple grand higher in base). Considered moving to industry, talked to the higher ups in my office, and ended up getting close to that this year in retention bonuses and raises.

like

Should also say I had a very similar offer. Manager title at a job I was interested in. Juuuust over six figures gross. Uncle D doesn’t pay bonus until June though so sticking around for that payoff. After this year I deserve it.

It’s hard to know for sure without more details on your location, but what I found is that on cash basis (just base and cash bonus) you’ll see the biggest jump if you leave in first year at each level but by the time you reach an EY promotion year, you’ll likely be at the same if not potentially lower salary in industry due to the lower annual increases there, even if you also earn a promotion in industry. However, if you get equity as part of your comp then that changes the equation

like

You only make $67k as a senior? I’m a staff and started at $65k I’m not sticking around for that

funny

Nobody is asking the right question:”what do you want to be when you grow up?” The money is incidental right now compared to the answer to the question.

like

No context without your current salary and market. Do the math. Conservatively maybe you’ll get 5% raises each year at EY

The gap is just so tiny since last year

Are you happy where you are at? What’s the COL?

@senior associate 1 I believe it’s because at a manager level you’d be expecting an even higher salary (say $150k) but yet you have no experience in industry even closing books and using erp systems, so difficult to imagine putting you in a director position. That’s my understanding. However, people do it all the time so you need to find the right employer that appreciates your knowledge and skill set.

like

If you don’t take it I will

Yeah if you’re offered a 50% pay bump take it

You seem to really be excited about the industry and opportunity. Nothing wrong in jumping on it and then re-evaluate after a year or 2. In terms of money, the salary gaps might outweigh the opportunity to work in the industry and with the CFO.

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.

A question from a youngster. Is working at a big big company with slightly low pay better or working at a much smaller company with higher pay better?

In the future, after a few years, let’s say I’m at a small company and want to switch to big big company, will the “small names” hurt my chance to get into the big doors?

I mean big big company is like 10x bigger than the small one if this was a factor. Assume everything else the same, WLB, commute, teams, etc.
