LA - hack a solid 15-20% off what you expect in NYC. Just learned from experience.

Other California cities I’m not sure. Ask for more if it’s SF.

65k SF

Depends on the shop. I’ve heard of most people starting between 50-60k for full time. But the place I interned at was 20/hr. But they’re really big on work-life balance and generally pay the bare minimum I’ve heard.

I gathered places that’ll stretch you more thin pay more.

Wow. I started my jr role in SF 9 years ago. It was 45-50k. Good that the entry level salary has gone up.

One of my friends works as a Director in Nagarro. She has been there for 7 years and has a CTC of 42 with total yoe 17. Per current trend this is low even though she is a constant top performer. She says that even though delivery people play a pivotal role, they are not paid well. In her team, she sees technical people earning 45-50 at 10-11 yoe. So the factor is 2.5 for delivery vs 4.5 to 5 for technical roles. Per her, this is quite common in Nagarro & she is not an outlier. ctd in comments

I have an offer to do some consulting for a company based out of the UK (I am in the US). The job would not go through a consulting company but would be directly with the company. I have not done any consulting before so I am not sure how it works, what I would need to set up (they mentioned that I would start a LLC and bill them directly, no idea how to do that), how to determine the tax implications of this, or what hourly rate I would expect. Can anyone offer advice?

Need help assess an offer from #PwC. Director of M&A IT (DDV - Deliver Deal Value). The offer has base salary (based on cohort - Tier 3 Home City) and sign-up bonus, but does not have the annual bonus structure for Director level at #PwC. HR lady said that they will give you that when you start. I would like that now (written format). She told me verbally the percentages but I do not recall them. Anyone from #PwC has that info in a PDF document?

Any documents? Much appreciated.
