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
Is 55k as a new hire associate too low?
New to Fishbowl?

Lol take it and keep looking for jobs and get that $150k offer in 6 months
This - any retention clause/clawback along with the $125?
I’d go to industry.
Money freed up because half the firm has left and they can’t hire fast enough, so they’re saving on payroll
I wouldn’t stay if I were you. It will be the same story in a few years when you ask for a raise. I’ve seen this happen to many colleagues. Or they’ll say at your next promotion - you were already on the high end so your raise isn’t as much.
Rising Star
Personally I think that mantra fits the bill when they just match your offer. Otherwise, default to the old adage of follow the money.
you're currently a Senior and they countered with a promotion to skip the manager level to Senior Manager? Is this real?
I say take it if you think you can perform well for 6-12 months. Then start looking for the next role in industry as a director or above to potentially make twice of that measly 125k they are offering as a SM.
Yep thought the skip was odd as well
money is tight at KPMG? why the hell would they pay an SM 125k
What country is this? I’m making 84k as an associate
