Would it be fair to say that Big 4 new seniors are underpaid in this market? I ask because I was planning my exit and thinking 80k (expected senior salary) to an ideally 95-100k jump to industry was possible.
Now that seniors are really only around 70k now, is it fine to keep the same standards for pay when exiting?

I would keep the same mentality of pushing for the 95-100k based on what you should've gotten upon promotion. B4 seniors were already underpaid before covid.

Industry positions are still hiring unlike B4, so their salary expectations definitely haven't dropped the way ours have.

I’m a S1 and would love to stay in B4 but plan to interview and negotiate based on offers. I don’t expect much in a pandemic year but anything helps

Looking for advice on career change. I’m a 45 year old single mom - I’ve been at my job for 18 years. I know I could be doing more. The job isn’t fulfilling and the workplace is rather toxic. The pay is pretty good - when I look at other open positions in my field / the pay is much less or the same. Honestly just unsure of what I “want” to do. Stay where I am and get a side hustle that may be fulfilling or change careers altogether. I’m a placement coordinator at a home care agency.

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?
