I’m trying to get a good idea on whether or not to leave my current firm. I have 10 YOE in the military (similar field) and departed active duty last year. I was offered 95k to start where I’ve been for the past year, but have already been offered much more for an industry position. I’ve done the PMP and CSM thing, am getting my TS/SCI now, and am about halfway through my MPA. Is it fair to tell my company I would only stay for at least $127k? Or am I just a complete noob? Located in San Diego.

Definitely fair

No, just go if you're getting a better offer. Don't play the leverage game. Make sure the new firm will pick up your clearance sponsorship if you want to stay on that track.

You are getting 30% more at a new position. No company will match that and you are just so much better going for that offer.

Thank you. I’ve spent a little time all over the place, but I have to agree that SD is one of the best cities I’ve called home.

For reference, I made $95k in 2011 with 6 YOE (generously!) and a TS with no true technical skills - albeit in a HCOL geography. You sound under compensated to me. GL!

No that’s totally fair and honestly you could probably get a bit more (although not sure of San Diego’s COL but I imagine it’s fairly high).

Yeah, the COL is certainly on the higher side down here.

Don’t play the counter offer / leverage game. It’s petty and there is no better way to say, “I’m only here for the money”.

DM for Deloitte if you want to leave, why not throw your hat in the ring!!
