Am I underpaid? I'm seeing conflicting information.

- High Cost of Living City
- Top 10 firm
- Consulting Senior (advisory)
- Around $74k salary
- Between 7% and 10% bonus this year.

I keep seeing post about people being above $100k, is this accurate?

How many years of experience?

For a brand new senior 2-3 years out of college sounds about right, maybe a little low. But if you’re a heavy senior 5+ YoE it’s definitely low

like

Yes. Audit Senior 3 years total in NYC making 74k. Advisory should be much more

like

S2-S3 should be making around 90-105k in NYC

like

Yes though don’t know that a “top 10” consulting firm means

So if towards the lower end then maybe not. First year senior in b4 is going to be more but not every consulting group starts near 100

Came to the firm right out of school, I'm between 4 to 5 years total; give or take about a year or year and a half as senior.

I think what throws it off is a lot of firms/people use consulting and advisory interchangeably and salaries for each of those differ by a large margin.

That is true - they’re used interchangeably but generally accepted that advisory will pay < consulting...

But assuming you’re in advisory at a mid-tier, I think it sounds a little low? Not by a massive amount but at 4-5 years you should be a heavy senior and I would think 80-90 base in HCOL?

D1 - only 90k as an experienced SC? I was making $140k a SC in tech advisory at D, I think our numbers are low.

Assuming any promotion to manager comes with a set raise percent (which would still leave me under paid), is it possible to negotiate salary, or, is that only really something you do at initial hire.

A friend of mine brought in a mentor on his compensation discussion. The mentor went to bat for him with the partners because he was being criminally underpaid after moving from audit to consulting within the same firm.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time
