They're locked into bands based on practice, geography, and experience. If you're new, you may be able to swing up the band initially by negotiating, but I guarantee you that you will be level-set next year. Nobody strays too far from the average for more than a year. If you're not new, a change in what they told you almost never happens. They aren't in the business of setting a precedent for negotiating salaries year after year.

I think I can beat the band short term. These guys are short on staff going into busy season, and I definitely have the experience to justify going above the band.

What makes you think you deserve the highest?

Agree both counts and you can't beat the band long term

Strategy s3 should be around $120k at pwc. You are probably not strategy and not qualified to come in as s3 though.

Agree with EY1 and others - you need to make your case on your own merit. Knowing the highest possible won’t even start the conversation

4th year seniors (aka the guys who didn’t have a business case for manager promotion) - Risk Assurance in Dallas paid $104k (highest end of our salary band last year, starting at $72k).

Is it common at McKinsey for partners to be heavily involved in projects?

Is CMA worth getting after getting the CPA? Or is it better to get the CFA. Also don’t have much finance background so I don’t know if I can pass the CFA will require a lot of hard work. Interesting in hearing people’s thoughts.

I have no plans in leaving PA anytime soon but I figure maybe I should look into another certification that holds value and makes me more marketable compared to my peers. Appreciate any thoughts and advice.

- Also considering going to a t14 MBA in future.
