Agreed. Otherwise, wait until promos are announced. If you’re passed over, find another firm that’ll give you the title and pay bump.

If you are promoted, take the new salary and leverage it for an additional 20ish percent on top of your new base.

I'd wait. Also consider the impact on your earnings over time. If you go to industry, your pay growth curve will flatten. If you stay in consulting, your pay keeps going up quickly, and you'll be MUCH better off when you're a manager 5 years from now. Plus, your exits get better the higher you get in consulting.

Great thanks!

Men: What does this mean? Been seeing him for a month. Asked if he is still seeking out other women. He said no and that he has been enjoying my company. I told him I don’t plan on seeing anyone else and he said the same. He brought up that he wants a serious relationship with me but feels he can’t right now because of a demanding new job. I told him I don’t want to rush into anything serious. He acts very couple-like when we see each other. I am not sure how to interpret this.

Later he came back saying he can't get an approval for 28lpa & asking me if I'm okay with 24lpa & he would try to get 24lpa also if possible. Is he trying to get the ctc down or does he can't get approval? How do I get him to give the 27.5lpa break up offer? YOE:9y6m Role:Infra ManagerTata Cons
