Being recruited for SM role at KPMG. Glassdoor shows average salary as $160K. This seems low?

Glassdoor is always low because it is from the beginning of Glassdoor to today in terms of timeline.

This combined with the myriad of geographies and service lines. You can filter on location, you’d think they would add a filter for the last year or two only

SM probably around 175-180 for SM in consulting.

Glassdoor is usually always wrong. Has salaries averaged in from beginning of time. Also has people putting in random things and into the wrong groups vs what group they are actually in.

Seems low. I came in as a manger at $165K base 4 years ago. Director now at $230K base. YMMV

US or Canada?

160 total comp or 160 base? Low either way, but maybe their IC is a little more as a portion than other firms.

160K base with 12K as bonus. Seems super low

Glassdoor is rarely accurate. Those on here can give you an idea. I know M’s at Deloitte in the 160-200 range base comp.

If you're being recruited as a SM that means you're not coming into MC, so the salaries will be lower. is this risk consulting?

I am in Lighthouse and MC pays lower than us at nearly every level. MC is not really the gold standard at all I think.

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation. Relocation was approved shortly after (over 2 yrs ago) but covid meant the actual move and start of my contract with new subsidiary was delayed, I was paid by the previous subsidiary meanwhile. I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!

I went from agency to in house PR 1.5 years ago (I’m at a prof services firm in nyc). There are no boundaries for communication; everyone is expected to answer emails immediately at all hours and senior people respond in minutes between about 7am-11pm, at minimum. Is this normal in the corporate, non agency world? Not sure if this is just due to the pandemic and WFH, but I was under the impression that in house life would be more chill.

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
