Just had a comp call. The partner told me that I started at the low end (masters campus hire) and I am at mid level of the range (top rating). Don't know how this is possible...but feel incredibly bad to be at"mid"

Yeah the comp call made no sense. The gist was that it is a really great benovelence of the firm to move me from low to mid. Already interviewing elsewhere.

OP sorry I am not understanding.. so you started low and now in mid level, what are they trying to tell you? Be happy?

I hate the comp calls. They are useless. Not like we have any power to change our raises and bonuses. Opt out of the calls. Usually a partner that doesn't even deal with you on a daily basis. I work with partners closely but they're never the ones on my comp calls. I'm over it.

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.
