I got a 80k bump when I left Deloitte.
"I'm very sorry, due to my developing skillset and market conditions, it's become necessary to move to a different company. I want you to know this resignation is in no way a statement about your culture or paycheck. If you wish for me, to speak on your behalf to potential employees and recommend you, please let them know my email."

Congrats I left Accenture for Deloitte and got a $110k raise....I advise young consultants to jump ship as often as possible before making partner...that is the sure way to get consistent market value

likehelpfuluplifting

All nice and dandy but don’t forget that multiple jumps hurt your resume. Shows you don’t have longevity and will jump ship as soon as the next company throws some money at you. I’ve seen cases where partnership is denied for this very reason. Not saying you should never switch jobs, get paid what you’re worth but balance that with being reliable. The jumps mentioned above sound considerable, which makes sense, but do think long and hard about it before doing so.

Congrats!!! I was at KPMG 2 years ago making 74k, left for 110k, and just got bumped to 166k last week.

Notoriously underpaid there, but the exit opps aren't bad!

With COVID-19, all MBAs will equal the same thing. I went to a full time MBA. One of the best experience of one’s life, but nowadays, nobody would care.

I woke up today tired.

My work cell was buzzing and then I remembered something.

I forgot to thank the bus driver that dropped me off a few days ago.

I got up and rushed downstairs to find the bus driver.

It was raining outside but I was already running barefoot to the bus stop.

I stood there soaked in my pajamas as the bus approached.

Then, the door opened. The driver got up and shook my hand.

I sat down and started my shift.

I’m the bus driver. Reminder to love and thank yourself.

They both have their benefits and company match.

The 90k is also a new team so a lot of growth opportunity while the 72k is well established team. If this matters at all.
