MBB em level role vs. director level tech (non FAANG) exit? Coming from b4, roughly 10 yoe. I know it’s probably a personal preference thing but hoping to get opinions here. Tech role is $190k base plus a 30% target bonus. MBB role i got a verbal offer without a comp figure yet but my understanding is it’s around there, maybe 10-20% higher (or maybe much higher depending on bonus).

Didn’t fully expect to get the MBB offer honestly, but both beat my 180/198 b4 comp. Now i’m torn.

MBB will have a quicker comp ladder, principal/NeP moves up by another ~$100/$150K within 2-3 years. WLB will be laughable comparatively speaking, but if $ is your goal to MBB. Personally I’m taking industry because the comp is already pretty close and WLB is more important to me at the moment. No wrong answer here for you though

Program manager, cloud professional services.

Comp long term in MBB is really high. Expect 20-30 percent year over year increase at least

However expect to work 12-14 hours per day

only when you can survive

Depends on how hard you want to work and whether the trade off is worth it. But congrats no bad choices here.

MBB for a couple of years and then eventually exit to industry with a much higher salary compared to start there now.

Industry pays higher and is willing to higher than mbb?

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

If we’re not likely to break even with our base this year, independent of BU, does it make sense to leave now for +30-50% total comp vs biting the bullet and waiting for next year? Been here for a little less than a year and failed to negotiate a first full year assured bonus, just had a partial year bonus in 11/21
Some people are saying that’s just the way it is and to wait it out 1-2 years and network more, others are saying otherwise. Would appreciate some perspectives… US Director level
