Thoughts on using a boutique firm’s offer for a more Senior role as leverage to push myself over a borderline promotion consideration in July? 🙄feels shady but have heard it might work?

I’d try to make the case for promotion first, and set expectations for salary. Do you have a case?

It might work. It is a bit shady.

It might not work. You might get a handshake and a congratulations on your new job as they walk you to the door

Damn.....would be savage....has this ever happened to you, or someone you know?!

@SA1, manager is aware it’s been a goal, if I made my case earlier, say 1-2 months in advance, and then later tried to leverage the offer, wouldn’t it look worse than the reverse? In other words, my fear is the question would be “why did you go looking for other opportunities if you were making a case for promotion”?

@SA1, this was super helpful, will direct message for a quick follow up!

From Big4 Transparency: S1/MCOL/2YOE/FDD making $97k. Managers MCOL close to $150k.

very Selective jobs( MF PE and BB IBs) kinda blow these numbers out of the water... but for the more attainable exits like MM IB and and corporate development... considering wlb and pay, is the grass much greener?
