Is going from a T2 firm as the lowest level consultant to B4 as a level 3 consultant a step in the wrong direction?

Level 3? Third year associate? First year senior? In general the job that pays you the most is the best direction

Better to think in terms of trajectory.

What would your salary and exit opps be in 3-5 years from each firm (or however long you plan to be in consulting)?

I think the answer is very much skewed towards the T2. For example, Glassdoor states the average B4 consulting manager will make ~150k + bonus. Maxes out at ~180k. The average MBB consultant makes $190k + bonus.

Titles don’t really matter. You upgrade every 2 years anyway.

But that's comparing the same levels? For me, I'm at the lowest level at T2 which pays 100k but if I were to jump to B4 it would be the level that pays 150k

If B4 offer is just third year of must junior title, I wouldn't see this as a step up.

Think of your goals and work backwards. Which helps you hit your goals faster / with more certainly?

Third level from the most junior title. Say the progression is CO, SC, ASC, position at B4 would be ASC

I’ll trade you a SA role for that T2 role that’s like 5 levels up

Oh really it's that prestigious? Lowest level at T2 pays 100k but if I were to jump to B4 it would be the level that pays 150k

How much does the b4 role pay?

Hello Fam Law attys!

I am in my second year as a attorney, I was a FL paralegal before law school and would eventually like to end up there again. I am in a very small rural area, pretty much only solos, and no FL solos appear to be hiring/expanding at this time.

Do you think experience as a DA or PD would be valuable, with my eye toward a future in FL? Both for the skills gained, and/or as a resume piece?

TY!
