Anyone else ever feel like if something is “easy” it might not be worth it? Thinking of moving from Consulting to tech startup. Interviews felt like a cake walk and I’m in the offer stage. Higher role and solid higher comp. It all just felt “too easy”…

KPMG Lighthouse for SWE - can someone help explain levels & what a potential offer could look like?

Is level purely based on YOE? I applied for SA but I've seen others say their offer was given at A if they felt there wasn't enough experience. Does interview performance matter?

How is YOE calculated? Years in SWE, years in consulting? Does work time in other industries count at all for those who switched careers?

Hard to know what to expect when there could easily be a $50k range in there...
