I’m about a year into my career right now. I plan on staying with PwC in Tech Consulting for at least another 2-3 years. What advice would you give me now so that I can exit in a few years with a big salary bump?

Find a really good psychiatrist that can help you in navigating narcissistic traits and abuse patterns. It’s a protective move for you as there are MANY who believe that abusive management styles are just “how you manage people” in technology. That will enable you to stay for maybe 2 years without permanently damaging your psyche. Not joking.

As for how to manage the total comp and exits, that will depend on the tech skills you build over the next 2 years and their relevance in the market when you go to exit.

I think D1s second point is spot on. You need to try your best to drive the projects you get staffed on so you develop relevant tech skills versus just working on tech projects. For example, I have worked on projects where I’m doing status reporting and internal financials. While these are actually useful if I were to stay at PwC forever, the tech world could care less about this type of experience. They want much closer to what they work on or data science type experience. If I were to exit it would have to be as a project or engagement manager in tech.

Would actually advice to exit to FAANG now and then in 2-3 years exit to another tech firm such as a unicorn for a major boost in all in comp

A lot of my friends in Big 4 including myself wish we pushed to exit earlier in our careers because it’s incredible how much the RSUs ads up when you are starting out in your career

You are on the right path OP, best of luck!!

I recently accepted a position with a new org. One of the benefits I asked about with offer was the parental leave policy and was told (in writing by HR) 16 weeks paid after 1 year, which is as good as you can hope for in US. Now I’ve been sent the employee handbook to review/sign and it says only 12 weeks, which is less than the org I’m leaving. What might my recourses be to negotiate 16 weeks when the time comes? Also, should I be viewing this is a red flag?
