You should go. 40% raise is serious business. Show me one partner that would stay if offered the same.

You have to be really underpaid for a 40% raise on a non manager position

@M1 - currently at $125k, hitting $170 in new role
@D1 - Not underpaid, specialized role

Agreed... Go. You can always bounce back to consulting later.

What is with you guys and the network all the time. It’s not like if you leave your network disappears into think air - if they do then they were really not your “network” in the first place.

But, should I not be considering at all the good will and network I've built up at Deloitte? I do love the firm, as well as the people.

Dude if you’re coming in at a lower level at the client, that means there are more levels above you to climb. So you will have an opportunity to get a nice bump fairly quickly as opposed to if you came in at a higher salary. It’s in your best interest to be a level lower

40% of what?

Stay. If you had a good year, you will get 20k or so in bonus and 8-10k increase. You will get manager on resume. In September you can discuss with client again or have more options. Pay in consulting increases at much faster pace. Overall the 40% is smaller when you factor in upcoming raise and bonus. Not worth it if you love the work and the firm.

D2 - Just out of curiosity, did you try to negotiate a raise before leaving? Did you leave with the plan to boomerang back?

I’m in the same deal. 70% increase and I still had to debate leaving consulting. I just wish I knew how long it would take me to get to the pay equivalent pay of my industry offer on the consulting side.
