Your 6 weeks away from your S2 raise and bonus. Make sure you are factoring in your new compensation when comparing cause you are not gonna get a raise at the new gig for a bit.

😂 maybe at RSM, mine was like 11% and then a 13% bonus. I’m not saying OP should stay, just saying he should consider his soon to be new compensation when making the decision.

Read the thread like 5-6 threads down about “what’s the quickest boomerang?” People boomerang ALL THE TIME back to Big Four and I can’t imagine anyone would begrudge you a 37% pay increase. Who wouldn’t jump ship?

As far as staying because only six weeks away from your S2 raise ^, are you expecting at 37% raise?

The best spot you can be in is leaving a job you still enjoy for a better opportunity. This career is about relationships and the sadness is probably because you know those will change if you aren't seeing the same people every day.

Congrats! Turned down 25% increase salary from S1. I think I was more sad to leave. I would have gone if it was 35% increase lol. Are you in the midwest?
