What’s the incentive to stay in Big 4 Advisory post MBA when MBB offers accelerated promotions, larger comp increases YoY, etc? I understand having gratitude is good but just genuinely wondering

So I actually got an offer post MBA for one MBB and still went back to Deloitte for a few reasons:
The area where I wanted to go (human Capital)
The hours, I tend to average 45-50 hours a week
The tuition reimbursement and sign on was higher since I was a returning alum
Overall I’m not sure if I have any regrets, but I still make way more than I ever expected to

Being shackled for 2-4 yrs to pay off tuition? or not being able to get into MBB?

Not all guaranteed to succeed in MBB. Tougher environment, hours, competition

like

Competition isn’t a thing. None of the 3 compete for promotion spots/ratings. Imo the best advantage over banking (besides hours I guess)

like

Fear

No up or out. The faster promotion thing works for a smaller percentage. And pension if you do make it to partner and retire there. The chances of retiring at MBB after business school are slim. For good and bad reasons.

So I've been at my job for 5+ years as a data analyst/back office support team. I made my way up into making a little over $40k. I've been WFH the past 2 yrs and overtime more than half my team has now been pulled out to work for a diff department which resulted in me taking 90% of our daily tasks to handle. I'm at a point where the salary I'm getting is disrespectfully low for all the work I do. Should I ask for a raise? And if so, how do I go about asking without sounding greedy.
