Would you go from Deloitte to KPMG for a 17k raise (difference in salary might be less after negotiating with Deloitte) and a promotion?

The big4 are more or less interchangeable overall. The differences are by practice area, so hard to say just firm to firm. If $17k is a 20%+ bump, not even a question... leave. If it’s less than 10%, consider how much you like your work, how close you are to the next promotion, how happy you are with your team, how much you like the partners you work the most with, etc.

Absolutely! Which practice?

There is a group annual bonus for managers and above. But nothing for anyone below.

If you’re mostly happy here and enjoy the work then I’d wait for the promotion and then look again later on down the road. $17k and a promotion 6-12 months earlier isn’t enough to compensate for having to start from ground zero building your internal network again. It sounds like you have a great network and project selection here which are two important (and under appreciated) factors in a job.

What are you at now? Going to $80k to $97k is a much more substantial increase in your day-to-day than from $150k to $167k.

Take the money. If it sucks, go somewhere else after a year for another $17k bump. You’re not senior enough to the point where your internal brand really matters.

I would hesitate. Deloitte has much better growth potential. If you are starting to build a decent network, I would stay Deloitte. If you don’t like the people you work with/for, leave. KPMG is among the weakest of the Big 4, Deloitte among the strongest.

Sounds like you're pretty happy where you are. Might consider waiting to get that promotion and holding out for a better exit.

Depends on the group. Some groups are great, others meh. Good exit ops from certain groups in Advisory into FAANG fwiw. 17k may not necessarily be worth the jump.

What groups are good and which are meh? I have an offer in considering as well.

Nope

why?

Average salary for a Sr Copywriter in DC?

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?

What is senior consultant salary in Accenture with 10yrs experience??

I’m getting put up for manager a year early. I have PPMD ,SM, and M support. Pretty much support from all the key individuals on my team and in my service line. Since it is a year early if i don’t get promoted this round I know it’ll come mid year but I do expect a good salary increase still without the promo. If I don’t get the promo nor a salary increase that I’m okay with, how do I let my partner know that I will begin to entertain outside offers? some of which have offered the manager role.
