How to earn 500k

I am a Manager at Deloitte and Deloitte doesn't pay me well to even dream of having a house of my own. I want to change my job. Which positions/companies pay good salaries (>500k).

Tc: 135k

    Don’t plan on getting to $500k in one hop. Where are you? Are you willing to move? That’ll affect how easy the climb is. Are you willing to go back into being an individual contributor? That can get you immediately to $200k-$300k remote if you can LC and system design and puts you on track to be a manager at a tech company if you want to go that route. In my experience it’s hard to get a look as a manger at a FAANG or FAANG-adjacent company if you don’t have experience being a manager at one already.

    I personally went from being a Director at a startup making 🥜 to an IC making a little over $300k. I’m enjoying it so much I’m not sure I want to go back into management. But if you wanted to go that route, I’d suggest getting an IC role at a higher tier company, working into management, and shopping your resume from there. Still not sure you’ll get $500k but you’ll be a lot further along than $135k.

    Something about this doesn’t make sense. You have 11 YoE, which means it wasn’t entirely at Deloitte and they aren’t counting all of it, you are an underperforming Assurance Director, or you work in the non-client facing part of Deloitte.

    If it’s none of the above, then why not just pursue the partner track? You are literally at the finish line and partners at big 4 do get paid well and many do make over $500k.

    • Does Deloitte do up or out anymore? Booz used to but haven’t since the IPO. It’s possible Deloitte has stopped doing it too

      Far as I know they have the same stance, they've had for a while, which is dismissing any "fire to hire" or similar policies accusations and attributing it to typical seasonal low performance turnover.
