I’m not designated a senior associate, but my small firm (boss, myself, and a paralegal) is hiring a recent grad. Still needs to pass the hazing ritual (aka bar exam).

Potential incoming KPMG experienced hire looking to negotiate a comp. Nearing 14YOE with an MS. Currently at 220k base (4-6% annual bonus, 9% 401k match) at a company, and want to bring me on at the Senior Associate level (lol I know, I know). Gonna try to upgrade to a Manager level role if possible. Based on where I’m at, is KPMG going to even be close? I’m okay with a lateral move as well, since I’d like experience and branding also.

Thoughts on a lead/senior associate role for internal AI at Booz Allen?
A recruiter reached out. I am an SC at D and so it would be one level up. And they say that as an internal (strategic?) role with people management, it'd have high visibility with leadership at BAH.
But I have no idea whether internal roles are seen as a backwater of some kind relative to client facing stuff. They say there's no bureaucratic thing that separates me into a different talent group from consulting.

Senior associate in the big 4 currently working on huge finance transformation project.

Backstory: I gave a high salary range for a company I was interviewing with and during negotiation they couldn’t hit it at the senior associate band so they offered a manager title instead.
