Those numbers seem important in the near term, but it’s far far more important to find the right fit - the place where you have the opportunities and the support to get promoted to partner. If you’re in a good spot working on the right accounts and with good mentors (and ideally a partner who will retire at the right time), leaving for more money would be a mistake IMO.
Rising Star
There are many variables to consider. Here are just a few:
1. What experience stage are you in your career?
2. What industry/ies?
3. What other factors are priorities (remote, relocation, culture, benefits, bonus)?
4. Always consider the short, medium, and long term opportunities.
If you’re jumping to another accounting firm, it seems to me that you get your nice bump but then you get lower raises for the next few years and end up back in the same spot
Jumping often pays more in the short term. Actual skill/knowledge and the right connections is what pays long term. Don’t take $20-40k today and lose $500k+ in 5-10 years. Tax pays very well at the top, so if you care about that, focus on getting to the top, even if it means less money right now.
Ooo I’m curious about this as well.
