Are you doubling your workload? That can be a thing at smaller agencies.

Yes, though small agencies have their quirks. And job security may be an issue.

Could that just mean you’re hugely underpaid and would get twice as much no matter where you go? Maybe you just found out your market value.

Definitely all great things to think about. I did think of all these before. Reasons for pay difference include promotion/currency difference/lower end of current salary etc. at the end of the day it’s whether you make the leap or not - like you assess pros and cons, can’t make a decision, close your eyes and leap(or not!) lol

When do I start

yes, depending on the client of the small agency

Is the smaller agency as good or better?

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach. I had a recent offer for a state government position in a talent acquisition role but I’d be taking a $25K pay cut. I am extremely over qualified for the position but it could possibly be a stepping stone and gives me the time to acquire SHRM certifications and possibly start taking classes to get my MBA. My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?

I was doing some googling and I saw that PWC offers MBA hires 45k in comparison to MBBs at 70k +. Is this a bad joke? I can't imagine that PWC's target for MBA hires is widely different from MBB. In the US, the pay gap isn't that wide. Any reason behind this madness?
