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.

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 %

like

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?

Hi, do you know of any opening as a production manager making at least 120K? The environment where I'm currently working is getting more toxic than ever and they are expecting me to fill all the openings with the minimum wage. I've been in the same company for the last 7 years, but with all the pandemic still going on, nobody seems to understand that when you are short staffed is impossible to get the same results as when you are fully staffed. Any help or insights will be greatly appreciated.

Hi All,
I've received an offer from LnT (29 LPA), is that good enough to resign now , considering my CCTC is 25.8.

Also, I'm almost 90 pc sure that i may be released within a week of resignation as my project contract has not been renewed and we're in handover phase.

Could you guys please advise me, as to what should be my course of action here? Should I resign and can I get better opportunities in the next 1 month?

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm. My group’s billable hours have been low the last few years, so making partner will be nearly impossible, and a counsel position is not viable long-term in my group. What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?
