Is 250k TC for a Director level position in industry the average for someone exiting a 200k TC manager position in consulting? Total 10 YOE with last 3 in consulting. Is the compensation and jump in title worth putting my small family through the trouble of relocating between coasts? Not sure I will see many more Director level exit opportunities if I let this pass and keep looking closer to home.

You’re getting a 50k TC bump? What’s wrong with this offer. Heck I make that now and would gladly step away for a similar package if it meant less work and stress.

The only thing 'wrong' is it's going to require a move to a dull HCOL location on the other coast where we literally don't know anyone

Industry is no necessarily less stress and / or hours

I did the same a few years ago. Left consulting for a 45% bump. But wasn’t happy in industry and went back to consulting for another 10% bump and now I’m at the top of the band for managers. :)

Can you negotiate staying remote? That’s what I did

I've tried but they can't budge unfortunately, for good reasons. They will let me complete my lease for the first 6 months so that's nice.

Comp alone, probably not.

Better fits your long term goals? Better wlb? Vastly cheaper geo? With these factors yes

Fit for long term goals (yes!), better WLB (yes!), cheaper geo (big no)
