Looking at the sunshine list is depressing.. tons of government employees making over $100k and barely working while big 4 consultants with similar YOE are getting crushed.

1. You work at EYP which pays the least of any consulting org in toronto 2. Their earnings get capped. Their ceiling is about 150K for most roles that most people realistically can get and that changing that is a huge political minefield so it wont really adjust for inflation.

MBB/T2 headcount is tiny. Vast majority of consultants work in big 4 and other regional firms. And I was including industry exits too because that is technically the end state of many consultants.

100k isn’t that much these days.

The sunshine list began in 1996 and was ~4,500 employees. At that point the average detached house in Toronto cost 265k.

Today the list has 405,000 employees on it, and the average price of a detached house is ~1.5m.
It’s no longer a list of highly paid public servants but directory of moderately paid employees.

The average salary in Ontario is still like $60k so $100k is pretty good. You have to compare it to the market salary for a similar position and they are doing very good, especially if you factor the wlb, benefits, job security. The cost of living affects everyone.

I have worked in both public and private sectors (T2 mgr 300K). I can tell you the real impact from those people on sunshine list is much higher than most of private jobs with equal pay.

Honestly not sure I agree. Many are talented and want to do good but work in a system that actively discourages innovation.

I had no idea police officers made as much as they do? Plus their salary seems to climb quite rapidly

Oh interesting! CBSA would be less risky than police so that’s pretty solid if there’s good OT. Still overworking never a good idea

I’ve been proposed an exit as Product Owner at a real company, not a consulting one. Staff seems nice, good culture, good salary (less than consulting but well), BUT I would have to move countries for that job and start a new life.

I’ve also been proposed a Manager position at a consulting company in my home city, with potential of bigger salary thanks to bonuses. Culture seems good... But I’m sure it’s gonna be a hell lot of work.

Which one would you take? Should I exit and never look back?
