Need some advice fellow consultants. I’ve been in a staff Aug position for about 2.5 years working for a VP at a bank. The VP spoke to me 1:1 about joining his team and working for a director that works for him. Upon speaking to the recruiter they wanted me to take a $30K paycut. I declined.

Now I’m in a pickle. I haven’t spoken to the VP yet about the huge paycut, and I didn’t mention anything to my engagement manager or account manager. What would you all do? If I tell my EM or AM I don’t want them to think I’m disloyal, and I am not sure what to say to the VP. My company has a contract with the client to EOY for my current services.
