Need Advice - Currently working as Senior Associate at KPMG ( Cyber Advisory) with Salary of 120K. Tier 1 city (SF/NY). Offer received from Grant Thornton for Manager Role with Salary of 150K. Tier 1 City (SF/NY). 5+ YOE. Not getting promoted this year at KPMG. Is it worth a change from big 4 to tier 2 consulting? Anyone at GT - How is the WLB and how is the firm / Cyber Practice in general. Any help will be appreciated!! #offer #consulting #kpmgus #grantthortonllp #big4
That kpmg salary seems on the high end. Any reasons kpmg won't promote you?
Definitely worth jumping for the early title bump since you probably have another 2 years before a promotion at KPMG. But definitely negotiate that salary higher. And afterwards you can always jump back to a Tier 1 again with your new title.
I don’t like getting title bump with little change in Salary less to grow
Hence "negotiate that salary higher"
30k bump in a pandemic is not little
Take the one that gives you better experience. Generally having the stronger brand on your resume is longer. Think about it from a long term perspective, not just a few more $$ in the next year or two. Will it help you get to where you want to be in 10 years (when you really get paid)?
From a rep perspective, I actually think grant Thorton and KPMG are pretty even. I would try to negotiate more but take the new Manager role. Worst case scenario, it goes poorly and maybe you go back to KPMG. If not, you have a consulting manager title which means something
Get around ~165 to 170K and jump
Can I ping you
Honestly I feel like that’s pretty low jump to manager maybe negotiate more.
