Unless you plan to stay in consulting or go for a field which is very prestige focused (i.e. private equity), you’ll see no benefit. And honestly, since you’re a Manager. You’re not going to a PE deal team, you’re going to the PE Ops team, and you should be able to get interviews at most of those teams except for the mega funds and some UMM from a T2

This is a great reply

You will likely get leveled down as others say. This is normally a good thing to help people adjust to the new firm. While the job is very similar there are norms of getting things done at each firm that are learned. If you are a top performer there is more upside. Comp, exit opportunities, more interesting projects, better learning, etc. Laterals have an uphill battle so be aware that it can be tough to find your footing, but many have been successful. I just would be careful if you aren’t consistently a top performer at your current firm. The bar is objectively higher

The main benefits will be access to roles that are usually only filled by MBB folks like specific s&o, biz ops, and corp strat roles

You will probably get down leveled. Up to you.

When I was hired, I don't recall being informed about my salary being tied to my location. My employment contract also only makes one mention of location, and says "home office" and my state. I was recently told by HR though that if I move, my comp. will be lower. Is this legal? Should I consult a labor lawyer?

In my mind, I don't recall being told this and it's not clear from my employment contract, so I feel like they're breaking our agreement, and it feels unfair.

Thoughts on what to do?
