What would you guys do? I have an offer for a Director role at KPMG making significantly more than my current comp. It's a lateral role as I'm currently SM, but up for Director promotion at PwC this June and have been promised I'll make it. However for an over $100K bump it seems like even with the promotion I won't get anywhere close to that, I'm pretty underpaid currently clearly and have been with my firm for 4 years. It's obviously a big deal to switch firms and build your network again.

It's been said before, but I'll say it again: follow the money.

Yeah good question. Supposedly I'm on partner track at PwC but who knows when, if ever, that will happen. People sit at SM/Director indefinitely so I just don't know how high my chances of that happening are realistically.

Over $100k in total comp is hard to pass. I would go for it if i were you.

But very curious how the gap is so large. Even the most underpaid SM at hour firm should clear $220-$250 after bonus... and kpmg is not known for large bonus %

My SM salary is $156K, that's after my raise in January. Even with my tier 1 bonus of $20K last fall I was well under 200. The KPMG bonus is definitely a consideration.

Sounds like a great opportunity! Congrats!

However, if you want to exit consulting eventually, is this new role going to give you the ammo you need for the role after this role?
