J1 & J2 together make about 200k although there is no room for growth in either but WLB is amazing (< 10hrs per week). Stuck contemplating if I should abandon overemploy to chase promotions seeing that I could eventually get to my current salary with my job. Just feeling a little stuck over all. I know many consultants most likely make more. Any one else feel this way or have any thoughts? I was thinking of looking for a different J1 and slowly try to climb up if possible.

How is the promotion path with your company? 1-2 yrs? 2-4? And what percentage raise is typical for a promotion?

J1 promo path is Sr than manager but is based on favoritism. At least that’s what was said from ppl leaving. J2 doesn’t have a promo path so far because it’s a smaller company. What they call promotions would be Consultant 2 and Consultant 3. The percentage raise is around 5%.

We have sales people in Canada and the US, the Canadians make 150K CAD and down here it’s 150K USD, the Canadians argue they should be making 30% more than the US colleagues to be equal bc of the exchange! I explain the salary is dependent on the market data for them in Canada, WHERE THEY LIVE, and you can’t compare it to the US employees and the market data down here. Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?
