What would you choose?

1. Stay at Big 4 strategy group with 75% chance of promote to Manager level in October for $195 base. Will be 1.25 years into firm as of October. If not promoted, probably $175 base.

2. Take BCG Consultant offer at $175 base with need to start over in terms of network and promotion track.

Seems like a no brainer to go BCG but am I not considering something? Goal is to do a minimum of 3 more years so hope to be at PL level at BCG and thus outpace comp, etc of staying.

Definitely BCG - higher ceiling for compensation in the short run, better exit in the long run

Hello, after doing some research I believe I’m being underpaid. About 4 months ago HR did a market analysis for my role. They bumped my salary for about $2k. I’m a mid-level Executive assistant with 6 years of experience and currently supporting 5 executives at a fortune 50 company. One C level and 4 Vice Presidents. I’m currently making $61,000 with bonus included. Based on my research I should at least be making $71,400. I have a check in with my boss tomorrow and I am asking for a raise.
