Thinking of leaving current company (mid size firm) for a significantly smaller firm. Roles are very similar but the new firm is offering $25k more in base plus bonuses (20% salary increase). My current company didn’t promote me, no bonuses this year, and overall morale is low. Would you take the new offer with the small firm? Currently remote and the new job would be on site 2 days a week.

At face value yes. The only other major factors are your longer term implications for career development and advancement. If those look promising at the smaller firm then I would take it. I assume the 2 days on site is not a crazy commute.

One thing to keep in mind if it’s a smaller firm is how strong their sales pipeline is and how they handle bench time if you are in a delivery role where utilization is your key measure of performance. I didn’t do enough research and left for a smaller firm where you were essentially let go of there is no next role for you.

Not sure if I should play my hand and push for more to stay or if they will just say "wait 5 weeks or here is the door"

Incoming junior-level consultant wants to know what is “billable hour”.
Once in a while I see discussions around billable hours, but I don’t know how that works. After googling, it appears to me that billable hour only matters to me if my salary is paid by hours. Since I will receive a fixed annual salary, does this mean that I don’t need to worry about the concept of billable hours?
A related questions: generally speaking, is the bonus related to the hours that I worked?
Thanks!
