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

yes, depending on the client of the small agency

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
