I’m completely failing as acting senior. I’m a new associate (<6 months exp.) and I’ve been placed in this pseudo acting senior role since a few members of our team left. I find myself dropping the ball in a near daily basis now that we’re approaching end of year. My team is super supportive/nice but I feel like they are at there breaking point with me and my incompetence. Anyone been in a similar situation?

Is it possible to negotiate your consulting level when joining a firm post MBA? I did ~2.5 years consulting (analyst > sr analyst) then left right before I got promoted to associate. Left to a Chief of Staff role (1 yr) then did strategy & Ops at the same company (1.5 years). Getting my MBA beginning fall 2023 and thinking of doing consulting again after I graduate but I think I would be coming in at the level I was before I left which is off putting for me.

Hello all, I’ve been at in my current role for a year and a half now (HR Ops Administrator), I interviewed for an HR Associate role within the same company, with a 63K-72K pay range, 5% bonus every year. Due to changes within the organization the role was eliminated. I was approached with a “Network HR Associate” role instead but haven’t received any information regarding the pay range for said role. Anyone familiar with the pay scale for such a role? In Jacksonville, FL?

Going through interviews for a capital excellence associate. I'm a Mechanical engineer/certified construction manager, have managed over $350M in capital design and construction spending over a 8 year career. No master's, undergrad in Mech E from a good engineering school (Stevens) but not a true "target". My research looks like base/bonus/sign on of 165/35/30 for this type of role. Sound accurate to anyone who can hypothesize on this?

TIA.

Hi. I have 20+ years of experience both in consulting and in-industry. I have a contact at McKinsey that I connected with that is willing to make an introduction/referral for me. A few questions: 1). What level should I be targeting. I’m willing to take a lateral to a degree because. . .well, it’s McKinsey, but I don’t want to come in too low salary wise and somehow undercut the value of the experience and the roles I’ve already held (VP/DVP). As such - is Associate Partner too low? 2….

What’s a good sign on offer for a sr associate role at PwC? 4 yoe

Working in public accounting as a associate and a recruiter reached out on a position as a analyst. I normally ignore them, but this time I asked about the pay.

They said they were looking to do about 80K, which would be a nearly 20K jump for me. Should I consider this move or stay in public? I keep hearing that public has the best growth long term so my fear is that switching to industry early will negatively impact my career.

What is the right move?

I’m currently at a tech company but not a product manager. How would I break into the role (at any company) with no product manager experience but 6 years of work experience overall? Would I need to start as an associate and take a pay cut?
