I’m underpaid in my M2 role as I started as a campus hire in a bad year 6 years ago, but I am a high performer and have a great wide network. Despite two market adjustments and good % raises, I’m still on the lower/mid salary band. Should I switch firms to be paid my current worth or stick it out with my current network to help my long-term trajectory. Does it actually even out as they say by staying or am I just being taken advantage of?

Have a serious conversation with your leadership. No one wants to lose great people, especially not now.

I would caution you about the underpaid rhetoric unless partner or HR actually told you you’re in the lower band. Mid band is what I would expect for a 2nd year manager. I don’t know how things work at KPMG but here if you’re on top of the band before you reach too seniority, you max out and your raises are limited.
