2x from Senior Manager seems difficult unless you are jumping to CFO or really close to that level.

I would love to know where these opportunities are. I went the opposite route, left b4 to go local and took a pay cut. I considered it buying my life back since I now work 300-400 hours less/ year and actually take my vacation time.

Ya the most i have seen offered to me is like 20%. And frankly I can’t complain with my current job at EY so refuse to leave for such a small pay bump. I consider it small because I have it pretty good here.

VP roles, cfo

I just considered and passed on a VP role but it would have only been a 15% bump. The job itself looked pretty appealing but I'm happy where I'm at and needed more than that to make it worth seriously considering. If I hated my job or was really looking for a change I would have been all over it.

Depends on industry but I wouldn’t leave for a VP role. Needs to be SVP level

Is it really that important ?
