Need help deciding if this offer is worth moving for. Received an offer from Booz Allen Hamilton for an Associate level Sr. Systems Engineer in Los Angeles for $135k base. I countered $150k and a $15k singing bonus and asked if I could be brought on as a lead associate since I've been a lead/manager for a while in my current company.
Current company TC: $125k in Utah.
YOE: 7 with M.S. and MBA

If you don’t have a better offer then it’s the market rate for you; if you do have a better offer, then it’s not.
I would say half truth. He is realistic that if you can’t get a better offer then that’s it, as obvious as it sounds. But the data is also skewed because market rate can be from X to Y, just because you hear a lot more Y than X doesn’t mean X isn’t part of the market rate band
200k a year for just 6 years of experience seems generous- count your chickens
Seems about right. If you were in consulting you’d likely be at the Sr Associate/post-MBA level. At MBB and T2, you’d be making ~$190 base and total comp in the $220-260 range. At big4 and other t3s you’d likely be making closer to what you make now
Seems close-ish. What’s your level? That likely matters more. Go check levels.FYI
For Strat team in tech in NYC I’d say somewhere 50%-80% of market. But advice overall would be focus on trajectory - where will you be in five years if you stay in seat
Sorry this may have been ambiguous, I meant 50th to 80th percentile of market range. So median to above median of market. For instance Google targets ~90th percentile of market range and our comparable role would comp a bit above this.
I have 6 years am at $350K currently
