Just got the offer I’ve been waiting for. Trajectory over the years with the new salary:

2020: 62k
2021: 70k
2022: 100k (Promotion)
2023: 102k
2024: 130k (Promotion)
2025: 200k projected (Change of Industry)
(All Figures Base + Bonus, USD)

If you’re questioning if the additional effort of applying, networking, etc is worth it — I considered accepting where I was many times — it can still go your way.

Gives you an idea of the springboard potential from MBB. And then the typical slow growth in industry, aside from sr level promo.

Just how bad would it be to quit without a two week notice?

I don’t have another job lined up yet. But I’m danger close to quitting and taking my chances with freelance. Could it be worth it?
