Haven’t been able to break $110 in comp for MCOL area. Trying to figure out how to boost my salary significantly. Any advice? Cloud certs? Security specific certs? PMP? Salesforce? Interested in cloud and product management.

Get your CISSP, get Big D to pay for it and get a bonus after you get it, that’s where I would start. Otherwise, look at CyberSec companies for more product/ S&OP roles for the higher comp

Jumping around is usually a good way to boost your comp but it honestly seems like you’ve jumped around too much. Witht that YOE you should have been at over 160K. I assume this is not US. At ACN or other Big 4 you probably would have been closer to 180+ by now in US

Seems like they are leaving before they get promoted or before raises kick in each time.

Mba?

Confused “SC to C?”
