Thanks A&M2! Are yall hiring? 😁

Final question for you A&M folks: what’s culture like? Is high burn expected, or are there folks who do their 40-50 hrs/week and still have advancement opportunities?

I think you’ll get mixed answers, but my perspective is that there is a high-performing culture with high standards, but generally people who stay seem to do so because you can find a balance you are comfortable with and get rewarded for good work, not just hours.

Some people seem to just stay on the gas and may feel the need to because it s safer path to $$$. I tend to stay consistently staffed because I do solid work and do a mix of high burn and slow burn projects to keep me sane.

As with most consulting firms, advancement is a combo of productivity and some seemingly subjective opinions based on how you’ve gotten on with influential MDs. So my answer is some are better at playing the relationship part of the game and some just make sure the numbers are hard to ignore.

What’s the bonus range? I heard base is OK, bonuses are high.

Bonus is based on collections, which is related to but not the same as utilization. Average bonus would be roughly 100% of base

I'm the hiring mgr for designers in my org. I recently discovered pay band information given to me by the HR generalist I'm working with on hiring was outdated and updated bands had been released over the summer (prior to my hire date). The outdated information had led me to believe a prime candidate was out of range. Aside from incompetence, can anyone think of a reason why HR might have withheld information about the pay bands? I assume mgrs see the full monty when it comes to pay...right?
