I mean it can help, but that alone isn’t enough for me to give you a raise imo. You’d need to quantify that to me by your work and it’s impact.

Might help at Booz - you guys are doing a lot of public sector work, don't you? In that case I think it might actually be helpful for the firm. Don't think anyone at MBB would care about it.

Are recruiters reaching out to you with offers that are more than you currently make? Is your employer struggling to retain people with your skills? If so, anything is grounds to ask for a raise, but that doesn't mean there's not some risk inherent in it.

I feel like it used to be explicitly called out in the firmwide behaviors and expectations for either SC->A or A->LA, but I don't remember seeing it last time I checked.

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
