30% at least
30% is what I’ve been thinking too.

It's tough, my market rate is close to $200-250k, left finance in NYC, but I work in non-profit consulting with relatively good wlb but close to 115k TC. I struggle to figure out what I should push for, as well. I guess it just depends on what you want to do, and how much you're willing to give up.
Agree on the points you made. I realize that money really isn’t everything, but I’m not wanting to short change myself either.
If you truly have all of that and specifically the work/life balance I would stay put. It would take 25%-30%+ for me to walk away from that
Trust - it’s such a great situation, it only makes sense that I would be the potential catalyst of my own demise. I’m pretty happy with the job/role I have, it’s that yearning for ‘more’ money, despite not needing it. I plan to stay, though it means I need to make sure I’m actively growing myself through my work and development opportunities.
Edit: plan to stay unless a +30% comp opp falls in my lap

I would be really careful in making such a decision. 20% (35-15) more or less doesn‘t make a difference but finding something you enjoy as you described it doesn‘t happen too often (as you can see often in this app).
Also, be aware that a company change will require you to network again and a promo in the new place will likely take longer.
Not saying you shouldn‘t do it or at least look out for opps, but think twice before accepting the offer.
I've worked across a couple of the big 4, and boutiques, plus across 3 geographies. I have gone client side and now back into consulting.
I can say hands down that unless you're struggling financially, that sticking with the relatively good work/life balance, team etc is the smart move. I believe you'll be happier in the long run. It's also really hard when you move because you compare the new company/team on the terms of the previous experience and finding something to measure up is difficult.
A caveat I would say, if you're looking to stepping stone to a particular role/industry then maximise salary/package if possible, because you know that the next move is an "interim" role and will be shorter and transient.
Plus, someone else mentioned this, but moving means starting effectively from scratch with relationships/political capital, so promotions etc are very unpredictable.
I think generally people (including myself previously) undervalue the intangible aspects of a career/role. Your happiness and engagement in a role is extremely valuable, you'll learn more, produce better work, get a better reputation and your career will thrive. At a minimum if I really had to, I'd put a 35% tag on that, but the new role would need to be a real challenge/exciting opp, not a lateral move.
It'd take >=25% base. I'm at $165k base with a short commute, an amazing team, and fun work. Also rarely go over 40 hours a week.
