It seems like changing companies every 2-4 years is the best way to having your salary increase exponentially. Is this true for audit, specifically B4? Many people in audit tell me to stay till manager so that I can exit into a more senior role, which I don’t doubt, but I feel like the salary wouldn’t be as high compared to someone in my class who has already exited and bounced companies. Also if I did jump ship, what’s the amount of years I should work till I jump?

I haven’t jumped ship though I almost did fairly recently. However, based on having heard from quite a few people over time I don’t think that you’ll get an exponential increase by continually moving. I think you’ll get an increase the first time you move but your raises won’t be very good because you’ll be at the top or above the pay band initially. Same thing will happen next time. So you may be able to stay at the top of the pay band, but you won’t be making 2x what everyone else is making by doing it. Also, you lose so much network and support when you move your performance may suffering or might be viewed as suffering. I think the better way to do it is wait 6 or 7 years and then move when the bump is much bigger and but you have enough time to really establish yourself before partner (if that’s something that interests you and you think you’re capable of achieving).

I'd appreciate any success stories or pointers you can offer in regards to this transition.

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.
