When thinking about leaving a firm, is it the smarter choice to wait until you’re promoted to leave or does that matter? I’m 2 years in and may be promoted this Aug which comes with a comp increase and bonus…I’d really like to leave consulting asap though but am just now starting the job search process and want to be thoughtful about my next step

I’m waiting for promo. The primary downside was/is the job market is going to cool off fast going into this recession

Key word there is “maybe”. If confirmed promotion, I’d recommend stay (what I did and now restarting the search) but in the end it probably doesn’t make a difference as long as you make a good move.

If you bet on getting a promotion and don’t get it you’ll be left holding the bag.

After you get promoted you need to be in role for a bit before you will see the real bump when you switch- I’d stay 6-12 months

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!
