Starting first year as KPMG associate in strategy advisory. How much can I increase my salary as a consultant? I’m making $81k in NYC but my friend in Cincinnati is making the same. Does the income go up more for me later on being in NYC? Cz tax and expenses are destroying me…

Can we do something if we are stuck in a situation where you have to wait 17 months for your first variable pay and 20 months for a first hike if we joined the organisation just after its appraisal cycle.

Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.

I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.

Should I stay or should I go?
