Over a year at one big 4, hoping to get promoted to SC this year. Got an offer from another big 4 for same level but salary might be higher than what I would make after promotion. How do I leverage..

SC’s are replaceable, so your leverage won’t work

I wouldnt do it. Better to take the promotion and then decide if you want to switch. Last think you want is to be a staff 2 years from now at 2 different firms rather than a senior with the same firm

At S.C. level very low probability that your company would try to match unless you are super critical to a current project.

the offer to make sure I get a better pay bump with promotion this performance year... don’t really feel like moving to the other company either.

Better to start this convo w/ HR?

K thanks, this is helpful.

I wouldn’t try to leverage at all. Get promoted, do a year or two then consider your options.

C1, I disagree. OP can join the new firm with a better compensation & work hard for promotion .

At that level I would let you walk for suggesting it. If you're not loyal that early in your career you're not worth investing in

With less than a year you will come off as arrogant. The C and SC level is very replaceable

What company do you work for now OP?

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

Friendly tip from a former recruiter & HR PM.

Under no circumstances disclose how much you make or what you want to make.

Tell the recruiter,” I need to interview to learn more about the specific details of this opportunity before I’ll know how much I need to accept a potential offer…”

I discuss & other do’s and dont’s on IG.
