Applied for M in D Consulting. Deloitte interview went really well. PPMD offered M during the interview. Recruiter came back with an S.

I refuse to answer due to the excessive use of letters as words in the original post... are we really that busy? #SoCS (sick of consulting speak)

You refuse to answer, then answer and use acronyms like you complained about.

SC/M is more of an efficient use of character count than a rude abbreviation.

Kthxbye

Deloitte is notorious for that but they pay well though. SC at D makes more than an M at EY

Honestly? Don’t take SC at D. It’ll take 2 years as an SC before they want to promote you to M. Stand your ground now. It’ll pay off.

I am a manager in EY with 2 years of experience. Recruiter says consensus at the end of the interview discussion was S level not M. Do you think it’s negotiable or cuz it’s D I should just say thanks but no thanks

Thanks but no thanks. I’m a current SC at EY and was able to get a SC at D. With 2 years of M experience, you should definitely get a M, otherwise ignore it

I currently got hit with the same exact move. Applied for a SC role, set my salary expectation and the recruiter said that’s perfectly within the range of The SC pay band. All throughout the interview we were talking about the how I fit the SC role...then when the verbal offer comes from the recruiter she says that the team assessed me at the Consultant role and it’s equivalent to my companies’ Senior Consultant role

D is notorious for doing this. They offered my friend from another big 4 a job with no comp increase, when he inquired as to why they didn’t offer a salary increase, the recruiter insisted “well it’s D, and you get to have the brand on your resume”- he was so turned off he didn’t even bother negotiating and politely declined the offer. Anyways, if they don’t budge- I’d decline, not worth to take a demotion considering you’re an M2

Hi Sharks,

Please guide.
I got selected in HCL.
They asked me to share the documents , but they didn't share the offer letter, it's been 1 week already.
Do they take time in releasing offer letters generally , or am I rejected already ?

Also, they mentioned 5% engagement bonus , and 8% annual bonus, do they give full amount , or some part of it.

How much an average candidate can expect from these bonus ?
