At 5 YOE and 190 base and feel underpaid. How underpaid am I? What comp could I get if I jumped to another firm? Assume only jump that would be a step up is some T2 and above

Why do you feel underpaid? You’re objectively well compensated with someone with such little experience.

That’s not underpaid, assuming you’re not at MBB/LEK/other high burn places

I think a lot of peers who went to MBB type firms are now at EM level making significantly more by now. I chose a specialized firm and regret it I guess.

Never look back, nothing there for you. You can't change the past, regrets will just hold you back. If you chose you could instead focus on all the peers who chose others paths who are making way less than you.

And news flash if you always measure against those you know who are making the most, you will always come up short. Measure against yourself and your goals.

And chances are you have had way more fun and more of a life outside of work. Would you really trade it?

If you're in NYC this is basically poor

Exactly. And I’m on the other coast in an AI bubble. Basically in poverty (joking but really sf is bad rn)

You’re benchmarking yourself to very specific careers in completely different industries (eng / pm at big tech, high finance). In terms of consultants and frankly the rest of the market, you’re probably in the top 5-10% for your YOE. This is all to say you’re not underpaid for your role and just because you have friends who make more doesn’t mean you don’t make a lot already. If you want to make more make it happen, but don’t expect your current firm to pay you more.
