People often forget things like network and retirement plan vesting when just comparing a straight salary jump percentage. Plus the annoyances of learning new systems/admin stuff. Would need to be 40%+ for me to jump

I would say depends on your level and depends are your career aspirations. 20-40% if you want to go for the quick bump and change of scenery. However if you’re higher up and have people who would both vouch for you and would help get you to partner (plus if that’s your aspiration) then the question becomes much more complicated.

Whoaaa that's pretty amazing. I know that when you're an amazing candidate, you're more apt to get huge increases like this, so this must speak to the quality of your work & who you are as a person.

I’m curious myself. I’m an S1 in MCOL making 97k (2.5 years of total experience).

I’m thinking of jumping firms soon and was hoping for a decent increase.

Are signing bonuses common at B4 firms?

like

25% or more

I like 30% as a rule of thumb, I jumped from B4 myself for 40%

F.

Go for %30 to %60. Don't settle for less than 30 unless they offer incredible bonuses and benefits to compensate.

I would say 15%-25%. It would depend on your goals and your potential growth in your new role. Returning to your older job might be challenging if you quit for a higher salary in another company.

MD 1: are you talking about jumping between same practices? Like if I’m in core tax and want to do core tax at EY I should ask for 30% raise? That seems high for me. If I’m making 95k as S1 do you think they will offer $123.5k? That feels close to a manager salary to me.

Question for kind strangers: Is leaving for a 15% raise and a promo to senior worth it in your experience? Should I try to leverage that offer?

Moving on from Hotels (Hospitality)?

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now, but it is very to commit to actually accept a new job offer since I really do love my job. My only complaint is, the pay vs workload is very small. I’m a manager now and my property offered me a director position… but the salary is still low! To make six figures, it’ll take another 5-6 years to grind it out.

Should I move on and go to a different industry? Opinions are welcome! Thanks in advance.

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law.

Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.

I am an experienced hire. My case might just take you by surprise. I joined EY GDS 10 months back at 40% hike (leaving PwC) and now Deloitte (DIJV) is offering me 2 level up designation at Manager level with another 40% hike. This has effectively doubled my salary in the last one year bt still I am confused to switch or not considering the amazing bonuses GDS payed off today. Please suggest.

Please discuss how the role of advocacy has evolved with technology and its limitations.
