I recently joined from another firm and also took a small pay cut (7%). I am enjoying it so far but I believe it’s about where you are in your career. You’re about to start from scratch with regards to proving yourself, building a network within the firm, knowing how the firm does things, etc. if you feel like you have the time to do that then I believe the brand/jump is worth it. If you don’t have the time or interest in starting over - keep the money. My .02

I took a pay cut to join and it was absolutely the right decision

@C1 we have standard comp levels by role (C1, C2, PL1, PL2) and there is absolutely no flex

If you’re doing the same stuff or have the same-ish project opportunities - something I suspect ATK actually provides - it’s not a bad idea to just stay where you are and not forgo the lost salary. Perhaps even use this to ask for a higher salary. However, why would you go through that whole interview process if you didn’t want to take the offer?

Yea I’m only 27 now and have been with ATK for just a year and a 1/2, I’m excited about the role at BCG and the work I’d be doing so I’m strongly considering taking the pay cut and coming over

BCG2 how big of a pay cut was it?

OP, sounds like there's more to this. Is this the same level? I can't imagine BCG having meaningfully lower comp.

10%

I thought the work opps were similar at Atk but just at a lower magnitude of non-ops work?

I work through a contractor, and was hired 2yrs ago to be a Systems Test Engineer II. They decided last minute to make me a Software Content Manager, but kept my title as is since it was supposed to be a 6mo rotation. I’m still an SCM, and am taking on leadership roles in the group. How do I ask for a title change and pay increase to reflect what I actually do? Do I ask my contract house, or my NASA mgmt? Should I ask to make the pay retroactive since I was hired to do one thing, but do another?

I do sales for a major engineering firm. Focused on new business and exploring new markets. Last year I was in the top 50% for order intake, and first in number of projects won along with number of new customers. I think this is extraordinary given the effort it takes to win new business.

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??

Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
