What’s the fastest way to get to 100k+ GBP in London if I’m an M now at PwC? How should I exit / play this and what jobs pay that? For context, moved here from the US and ended up taking quite a bit of pay cut. Have a CS background.

I can't speak for PWC but EMs at my company start at 90k so 100k is within reach after some experience.

Which firm SEM1?

I think our base for a manager is 100k

Our pay is lower generally here but includes quite a lot in terms of legally mandatory and discretionary benefits and affords you more rights.

Well U.K. employment law as a whole is pretty well stacked in the favour of employees as a general. You should get more PTO typically also as 28 including public holidays is the minimum legal.

You do not have or need allotted ‘sick days’ and are well protected if you are genuinely ill, ie you can’t be fired for it if evidenced. Most orgs will let you take a week off sick without any problem or even proof, otherwise you can get a doctors note for free. Concerns only get raised if you are taking repeated sick days without evidence.

We really don’t favour ‘employment at will’ as a concept, and it’s not often seen, you really need a cause such as misconduct or consistent poor performance or redundancy to be dismissed.
