Looking to relocate to London from US. For context, Sr. BA at McK who is JEMing. Have done most of my work in strategy, mostly in retail and social sector.

Would prefer to switch jobs, ideally doing strategy or chief of staff roles in retail, but open to industry.

A few ?:
- Knowing it’ll vary, but what salary range is realistic for my YOE, time at McK, and the UK labor market?
- would I be better off transferring with McK? Would prefer to switch jobs though
- Any other tips??

Thanks! :)

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
