Applied to Guidehouse for managing consultant, put 140k as expected comp (lol why not). Recruiter set up intro discussion to discuss “next steps”. Pretty sure my comp expectation is far beyond the norm. Any thoughts?

Thing is they got bought out by a PE firm, so I don’t see how you could expect to stay there long term. I could sincerely be naïve, but I assume a PE firm owning your consulting firm will result in what happened at Booze Allen - volume / reduced rates / reduced salaries / no culture.

Too bad.

I got an offer from GH at that level at $135k and I know I was leaving money on the table so $140k seems reasonable.

It’s 100% the reason I would move to Guidehouse, they pay ridiculous money

Not sure if you’re familiar with the hierarchy of titles at GH but Managing Consultant = Manager at other firms. $140K isn’t a crazy amount for that role. Just depends on your past experience.

OP, if they want you you can make 130-140 as an SC but typically with 10+ yoe. But they will probably offer you close to your ask.

140 is in the mc salary range, so it really depends on whether you have the right experience/expertise for that level.

Sounds reasonable to me as long as you have the resume to back it up.

Good luck!

I'm a little confused by the comments above. Can someone confirm the hierarchy at GH?

Also as a newer manager at EY, what level would GH try to place me at ?

Agree on the negotiation part. If you are able to present yourself at a Manager level and make an effective case, you can come in at that level too.

I interviewed and got an offer for a funded MC position last year, the recruiter said the offer of $155 was at the top of the band for that particular position.

Do Leidos, SAIC, and other mostly-fed consulting businesses pay bonuses to all levels? If so, what does a typical bonus target look like? Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.
