Thoughts on leaving to a boutique strategy consulting firm that focuses on growth strategy and DD for PE firms?

Current: 76k BTA 1 in S&A CCG

Would make between 90-100k & up to 20% bonus, but..

100% go. As someone at a boutique with partners from other elite consulting firms, it’s an awesome experience. You get to know them much better than my friends experiences at other firms. Very strong office culture. Less churn and burn. No brand new teams where you are making first
Impressions, everybody knows everyone. And the compensation is definitely better !

Thank you. This really does drive home a lot of the positives I've been thinking about.

But what?

The other firm is relatively unknown with very few employees (25ish). Partners all came from BCG, junior staff all from Ivies (undergrad and MBA). Should I sacrifice brand for more visibility & better work?

Just go and tell leadership the grass wasn’t greener when u want to come back. They love that shit

Whenever I got promoted to digital ACD a few years ago, I noticed my pay was much lower than I expected for the market I’m in, hard to find skillsets, performance, and visibility I’ve brought to the agency. I’ve brought this up a few times and was told HR would do research into salary equity, but the convo always fades. I put my foot down with my GCD, and she supports me, but I would like to come to the table with my own research. Where should I be looking for accuracy?

They said it’ll happen but they’re not sure when because sales are down. Thoughts on how long to ride it out? I like my job and don’t want to quit but it bothers me regularly.

You’re getting promoted but anticipating offer is going to be lower then expected and you want to negotiate (meeting has not happened yet). Would you bring up that the offer is lower than expected in the meeting or be thankful and excited during the meeting and set up a follow up to discuss compensation? I know it would need approval by more than just my boss anyway
