I was offered a sr director role. No case - all behavioral. They're very operational and want people willing to roll up their sleeves so you need to be able to talk through ops projects at a detailed level. Not sure what firm you're coming from but they dont value pure strat or top line growth experience, focus is on cost takeout.

Thanks S&1.
Do you mind sharing your level and years of experience?
Also, what made you pass the offer?
Appreciate your time and inputs here. Very helpful.

Congratulations on finding the right fit.
Which firm did you move out from (Big 4, Boutique, MBB etc.) and what level were you at when you moved?

I have 2 offers to consider. What makes more sense?
Full time role with 3 weeks vacation and benefits or contract opportunity with 20k more in potential salary.

Little background, I have been a loyal employee and have only worked at 1 firm for about 6 years now. Looking for more growth and obviously money.

Need some suggestions on what to consider and any pitfalls that I should be aware of.

Thanks

Hi Fishers, What can my expected CTC be for a PO role at Servicenow? My current profile is 6 years experience with 19 LPA. I have couple of offers with 23LPA and 25 LPA.

I've been looking for salaries for various position with Big 4 assurance, but information is all over the place.
So after some research here, reddit, goingconcern, glassdoor, etc. I've put this info together:

!! The salary grid below is for Big 4 Audit, HCOL (NYC,SF), gross amounts without bonus !!

Of course they can be higher or lower by a few k's on each position depending on impact tier, but I tried to look for average amounts.
If you have information please post it so we can update.
