Glassdoor Economist Pay Overview

What is the pay outlook for Business?

Jobs in business are in increasing demand, requiring workers with at least a bachelor’s degree and moderate to advanced technical skills, with the use of data often a required job function. To remain competitive, job seekers with little relevant field experience should consider higher degrees or industry-specific certificates to meet evolving requirements.

Technology Analyst

I started a new job mid last month, but KPMG just got back to me nearly two months after an initial phone interview. My current job is as a Senior Business Analyst at a boutique firm specializing in FinTech. A little boring if I’m being honest, but salary is 100k. According to Glassdoor, the salary for this position at KPMG would be ~115k. Senior Associate for Cloud. How terrible would I be if I ended up leaving my current job after two months? Can anyone actually stomach this?
