I'm an entry level consultant in Dallas at a smaller company. This is my first job in consulting and I've been here about 7 months. My experience has been good in terms of work life balance, autonomy, and culture. My only real issue is my compensation. I was happy with it at first, but with the workload and expectations I'm feeling undervalued.
My base is 82k, 5k signing bonus, no annual bonuses or anything. Im wondering if I should start looking elsewhere or if I'm just getting greedy

As an entry level consultant in Dallas? You’re in a great position compared to most.

Don’t let this app bring you down. That’s a perfectly reasonable comp package with the info given.

How much experience did you have before that job?

Yeah, it’s a balance of joy vs. money. To find out what skills are hot, keep browsing job openings for the work you’re doing (or can do) and titles that go with them. Understand how much those roles pay. If you left now, might have to get lucky getting paid significantly more in such a short time. Next big jump at your levels is usually between 1 to 3 years. Companies will pay though for hot skills.

Understand your market value and perhaps when you reach your one year you can hit your company up for a raise (or go to the highest bidder). Salary and talent typically work themselves out.

What type of consulting do you do?

Idk how much you're working but with the info provided so far I'd say you're doing pretty good for yourself! So congrats 😊

My friends OTOH have pursued hands on opportunities as they believe it will help them connect what they learned in theory through the certs. I believe at this stage in our careers, this type of granular/hands on experience is not entirely needed as long as we have an understanding of the services at a high level. I wanted to get your opinion if I was in the wrong with this thinking?
