Input needed. Received offer from McK as a manager on solutions side. Currently Sr. associate at boutique (generalist). Just received a promotion to engagement manager that I thought I had no shot at. New comp is now slightly higher than McK offer. Am I crazy to question the jump? What other things should I be considering? Exit opps, benefits, advancement, etc. Thinking I should leave to get McK on the resume, but hard to leave money on the table. Realize a lot of factors, but any thoughts? TIA

As an experience higher you can DEFINITELY negotiate salary. I did when I joined. Told them I had a 10k higher offer and they matched.

Although, I would sacrifice some money to have the mck brand.

I was considering making a jump to McK after they approached me on LinkedIn and ultimately chose not to pursue it. The comp for me would have been significantly higher but the title was a move down (manager to their associate role) and a few other factors made me turn it down.

funny

I had two conversations with the recruiter (one introductory and one serious) but turned down going through with the application before going into case interviews. That’s why I said I chose not to pursue it and did not say I rejected an offer.

Was the reason you were looking elsewhere comp only? If not, those reasons still stand. I also assume at M comp will be better long term anyway.

Comp trajectory is another factor. Comp may be higher this year, but will it be higher over they next 2-3 years?

Would it be possible to reopen negotiation regarding salary with McK?

Read your response to another comment - 10k really isn’t that much of a difference when you’re at >200k imo, as a huge chunk of that will be taxed.

Think it should come down to other factors.

What are the two offers?

I think it comes down to what work you want to do. Solutions track is a 3rd class citizen at Mck, so trajectory isn’t going to as steep as the generalist or expert tracks.
