In your experience, have you seen a lot of difference in compensation between larger firms and boutique ones in general advisory? I know that they function very differently but wanted to get more information from direct sources vs just google’s perspective. Based on what I have seen, the difference is negligible but wanted to confirm. Thanks!

The difference is negligible from a pure cash perspective, as long as you know what your general role/position comp is. It really comes down to benefits and differences in what is offered (or lack thereof)

I have had boutique firms have better benefits than B4, and others that are insultingly bad. If salary is the same, I always use the benefits as a tiebreaker

I left my old job the end of January (due to compensation) and hate my new job. I don’t sleep and am constantly stressed. I have been interviewing since May, but I can’t seem to find a good fit that has an insurance Plan that fits my needs. I am thinking about reaching out to my old job (very small and tight knit) to see if there’s a position available for me still. They told me there would be when I left…what is the best way to go about this?

For >20 YOE, multiple companies founded, highly technical, patents, academic papers, former F10 Director… even in a T3 city, $240k TC in consulting seems low, right? Not complaining at all just not sure what direction to go for higher comp.
