Promotions at any firm come with increased expectations. Switching also comes with risks as your rebuild your network and learn the new culture and how to get things done. Taking on both of those risks for only a 15% bump is something to consider. A lower rating and bonus could make the switch a wash.

Only a 15% raise for 2 levels higher. That‘s terrible…shows you where the 🧢 is in the new firm

But even 1 level up should give you a bigger jump than 15%. I‘d be skeptical…Not saying you shouldn‘t take it but potentially could be a red flag

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.
