UBS If I had to move within the company to a different location , how does it work? For example if I move from low cost of living area to high cost of living area does the company re-evaluate the base salary within USA? Or do they come back and mention its your family requirement since your partner is located and you are moving ?Suggestions or experiences any !

I’m not sure if I follow your dilema.... without knowing what you do today and what your offer is for, are you just reducing things to getting 75k more in money per year vs thankless traveling? Sounds really like a no brainer to me, the money wins. You can travel on your own with all that extra money. I’m sure there is more to it, otherwise you would not be asking, but try to articulate it better.
Is that actually a manager's salary?? Associate asking
I recently became a SM and I think I can help you decide with my opinions. But before I do that - can you help me with the below info ?
1 - Can you break the $300k into base , bonus and stocks ?
2 - Do you strongly want to become a Partner? If Yes, What do you want to do after spending 5 years as a Partner ?
3 - Do you think you can continue to do traveling even after 5 years from now for the next 5/10 years ? Or you see your ambition would change after 5 years ?
LOL, the only thing I'm confused about here is why someone worthy of 200k as a consultant can't figure out this question on their own, or, more importantly, pose the question in a way that provides others with enough information to actually help...
Where are you now?
You can always come back. That's a pretty significant pay bump.
Absolutely. Most people making that much have to take pay cuts when they go to industry. Plus depending on your promo timeline you may have to wait 8 more months to hopefully get a 10%+ raise. I would take a $100k pay raise yesterday.
Do you mind sharing what firm you’re at?
Wow. What sort of role are you considering at $300K that you can exit at M level? Unless you are dead set on partner track to me this is a no brainer switch. Consulting isn’t going anywhere if things don’t work out. A $300K exit is tough to come by. My perspective comes as a 3rd year D in tech consulting... have kids and wife so def feel pull to get off road. At this level of pay I’d say I’m more personally likely to take a pay cut jumping to industry than get a bump.
Correct, I’m a manger at a consulting firm, up for senior manager promotion. I’m currently making $200k all in. I love consulting because it’s fast-paced, travel is great and I enjoy traveling for work and being able to live in any major city. I’d take 300k to go to industry and work in one office for the same company doing work I don’t totally love because I’ve been doing it forever and it’s not as challenging. I’d enter the client at a director or senior director level.
200k with bonus
I was hoping for more senior people to weigh in as I’m not sure on upside potential. I’ve only been told they’re promoting me at end of year.
Is the travel worth 50-100k to you 🤨
I don't know. From what I've seen on other threads, this is up to you. There seem to be folks who jump to industry with the opportunity and the pay bump then come back because of a better growth trajectory. Others seem happy.
I guess the dilemma is really around the job (it would be the client hiring me on full-time) which could burn bridges with my consulting firm. The work is right up my alley for my experience, but somewhat boring for me. I keep getting told I’m nuts for not taking that big pay bump as I can leave in a few years, but I don’t think I’ll be able to get paid $300k anywhere else coming back out of that job.
OP - I am quite not sure of your situation. Let me take a deep stab.
So you are a Manager at a Consulting firm and making 200k all in? & you want to understand if you should leave Consulting to take up a client/industry full time job @ 300k all in even though you love travel and you are single ? Help me understand your Q please ...
You need to decide, what’s more important to you, the money (and for how long) or interesting work that requires you to travel.
Talk to your manager about the dilemma
Manger 2 makes good points, IMO This lifestyle isn’t sustainable.
SM3 - was that “lifestyle” thing for me ?
