I'm curious, has anyone taken the same or similar pay to exit consulting? Especially for a role where you can learn more and do something more interesting?

If you divide your salary by the hours we are working right now (56 hrs / day), you’ll give yourself a raise, bonus and have time to eat. Sounds like a good deal.

Yes, very common. If you strictly limit yourself to opportunities that pay more, you’ll be stuck in consulting a lot longer. With that said, it’s very doable to land a role that does pay more, just depends on how long your willing to job search

Hello All, Office Sup. for a major hospital, w/ 15 years experience. I have lots of experience in every position in the office, especially in training. I recently applied for an EPIC trainer position within the company and according to Glassdoor the average pay is about 23k more than what I currently make. I’m afraid of getting a lowball offer since 1. they obviously know my current salary and 2. I’d be new at this particular role, although I meet qualifications. Any advice if that’s the case?

I recently started my own firm. We primarily do ID. I want to give our attorneys flexibility and a work life balance so I’m considering giving them a higher % of every hour billed/collected as the basis of their compensation rather than a set salary. This would eliminate any billing pressure and give attorneys the freedom to decide how much they want to work/earn. Anyone have any thoughts on whether this would be fair and/or a good idea?
