1.5 years post grad consulting experience, given offer for $185 + ~15% bonus (no equity) at director level. Seems low to me, thoughts?

Yeah that’s the same as me. Depends on the industry of course, but 185+15% doesn’t seem out of line. What industry?

@m1. After 3 years i would expect you to be in the low 200s assuming you went to a good mba and had real.solid mba level consulting

Its hard to compare and determine w/o knowing the industry and type of company. I am 3 years in, a manager out of an M7, and accepted an offer for 175K, no bonus but with equity. This is with a startup though so its obviously different from a F500 company. I think FB gets a little silly when everyone starts saying an offer is low when they have limited context and may not even be in the market at the same exit level themselves.

What’s your current base Op?

Including cost of living it would be under my current salary. And I left a job that paid more to work for McK. So it would be less than last two jobs.

No it’s in a a second/third tier city by cost

Yes it’s low, 220 base , 15% bonus with clear path on future bonus increases and some sign on too

C1 where is that?

I think its a bit low (about 10%).

Whoever is hiring you next knows that they are getting someone w only 1.5 years exp at mckinsey, so i would not expect a huge post mckinsey bump.

If i were you, i would be happy w 195k + 15% bonus

For those who’ve provided input - are you focusing on the # of years in consulting, or # of years of post-MBA experience overall?

If it’s not the # yrs of post-MBA experience, how much would be fair for 3 yrs post-MBA?

like

As reference, I have 1.5 years consulting and post MBA experience. Just offered 172k + 25% bonus in Tier 2/3 city as well. So it’s at least on par with that.

How many total years of experience do you have?

Yeah agreed - it’s low
