Would you have to repay signing bonus? Any constraints there? Might want to negotiate this into your comp package, if so. Sounds like a great offer. Congrats and good luck.

Thank you!! I negotiated them to repay a relocation bonus, sign on is cleared thankfully.

This is good offer for tier 2 city. If you are not interested in NE or WC not sure you will do that much better leaving as PL. For example, in Dallas JPM will hire you as VP in strategy for 230k if you are PL or 180-200k as Sr Asso if you are a C (see thread in this bowl talking about JPM strategy). So your 220k if it is like AT&T Dallas would be comparable to the VP exit.

Makes sense. In northeast, but relatively low COL city (similar to dallas) with very few consumer tech companies. About half the COL of NYC so this seems about right!

Just do it 😉

Were you in marketing or media/tech pre-MBA or did you just market case experience/general consulting toolkit?

Lots of marketing segmentation and consumer strategy work pre MBA. Did some marketing strategy work at MBB but leaned heavily on past experience and the times I’ve been a de facto manager for new college hires

I would like to hit fire between 40-50. Currently 27, 185k total comp (125 for me and 60 for partner). Like my job don’t hate it don’t love it. Does an MBA make sense? I’m guessing it could take me to 170ish with that schools I’m looking at but wondering if the 40-50 retirement range makes an mba not make sense since I’d only have 10-20 years to save vs 12-22.
