Just got an offer to join a 100% remote position with a considerable salary increase. Downside is that the company is only based in US so I would be contracted under a “contractor” schema (Fyi I dont live in the US). Currently I am really happy working at Mckinsey, although hours are harsh. New role seems interesting and salary increase is great (+60%) with a good WLB, but I would have basically no benefits. Any recommendations? Worried to accept offer and loose a secure job (which I like)

Stay at McKinsey, especially since you expect to be promoted. The economy of the US (and likely Mexico) is still too uncertain to risk it. Contractor roles can get cut VERY easily, and you probably won't benefit from the worker protections they have in Mexico. And the exit options after promo will be good.

It seems like you can get a similar deal later. McKinsey Mexico probably doesn't pay as much as McKinsey USA, so your employer likely views the situation as McKinsey talent for much less than it would cost for someone comparable in the USA.

Well, thats not too bad then. Why can't you move to the US for the job?

60% increase!? What benefits would you have to pay out of pockets?

Yes, good increase... for now. I actually expect a promotion on the current review cycle + the year end review salary increase. I would have a similar salary for next year. Things I would have to pay are “health, visual, dental, life insurance”, retirement plan and all the trainings, development and conference travel I get at Mckinsey.

In his words “you were hired into the firm, not a specific project. We see you here long term... With the exception of PDM model” 😅
