Move dilemma:

Currently @ 
Arthur D. Little Limited Dubai as SE Manager w/ base comp of 285k $ + 10-15% bonus. Vert limited fit w/ people & projects in the region (MEI) & not motivated by seniors. Not happy w/ the job but good WLB. Very likely to promote to Pr which would include a 20-30% jump in total comp but shift to more variable
Move to MBB as PL. Projects & people are supposed to be great and he could see himself in the long run. Comp is 170k $ + 60% bonus. Will take 1.5y to move to Pr

I’ve never been in this situation but I feel like if you have a great work life balance and you make a very high salary why not just stay at the job? You can find value in other things that doesn’t have to be at work.

Wow I didn’t know ADL pays that much in the Middle East. It’s probably more than any other firm lol

Actually, it pays quite well but the truth is that this comp includes a negotiated 50k USD Bonus paid in advance.
