Would a 30K increase be enough of a raise for you (in NY city) to quit your fully remote consulting job and move to a hybrid role? The listing said three days a week but in the conversation we had over mail about the first round of interviews, it sounded more like I'm going to have to go in 4 days a week. I'm really confused because it both sounds good and doesn't seem worth it. What would you do if you were me?

Depends on what you’re currently making… $50k to $80k is a massive jump.

$250k to $280k is less noticeable

For me Hell no. $30K to move to NYC. The cost of living change would be way worse than $30K.

I'd take the raise. I really don't care for a remote job. I'm single and don't cook anyway, so that could be a contributing factor to why I don't see merit in being able to stay home. But yeah 30K is a good raise imo!

And how much will your rent go up if moving to NYC?

like

$30k a month raise yes, $30k a year is only $14k after taxes per year which is like $1.1k per month so hell no

For me no but it would depend on the commute and if you already live in NYC. Another factor would be if you have kids or if you’re currently taking care of someone.

if you are already in NYC and it is actually 3x a week, then yeah i’d consider it.

No. I’m Fully remote and have kids. I do all my work in half the time it takes my peers so I have more time to volunteer at my kids school or go to Pilates during the day. 180 to 210 would not be worth it at all to give that up.

If you’re already in nyc. If not factor commuter costs in…probably easily at least $5-8k a year and additional nyc tax witholding

Depends on length of commute

$30k is nothing.

I’d never give up my remote job

No. Would not be enough for me

My YOE: 2.5 years after bachelors then 2 years Masters in London

I would really appreciate your views! Thank you :)

I have an interview with Korn Ferry for an associate principal role and am curious about others’ experiences have been with work-life balance here. Also, I have an idea of what I should be compensated in this type of role, but any insights on how they pay compared to others would be helpful. Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.
