The Salary Trap - Gift or a Curse

Could a great pay and benefit package be a cleverly placed trap?

Experimented with some interviews at different companies to see what a senior role would pay out. Pretty much in line with what I make now and most of the companies pay less. The company I work at is pretty great with a good team.

What would it take for someone to take a risk with a new employer, if there is going to be no salary increase?

I’m curious. What would you say is the best industry / sector for…1. WLB, 2. Great people / team, 3. Exit opp’s., and 4. Overall (mix of the above). Goes without saying the obvious “it depends on office, team, project, client, etc.” So this is an ask for general observations.

What would be the hike percentage for getting promoted from Associate consultant to Consultant?
Will I get the promotion percentage + year end cycle hike percentage (let's assume that I am getting 3 rating) or just promotion percentage?
YOE : 6+

There's a lot a chatter (not Chatter) in this bowl over the last year about consultants joining Salesforce. What about the other way around - consultants leaving Salesforce or plotting their exit? We know you're out there....

Welcome to the Career Pivot Bowl! An attempt to create a space to discuss how/when/why of changing course!

I’m currently interviewing with a few top 10 firms and a couple top 100 firms for a mostly remote experienced associate/new senior role. Does anyone have any tips on virtual interviews and how to gauge the culture of the firm and if it really will be a good fit for you? I’m struggling to figure out that out because I used to gauge it on the feeling I got while in their office during interviews. Any suggestions would be helpful :)
