Booz is offering my 170k as an Associate, currently Consultant at 98, up for promotion this year, expecting 120k. Should I take it?

No you should not. It will be the worst move ever 🙄

OP, I have worked for Booz a couple times now and the culture was good in my experience. I worked in the SIG last time so it provided a little difference experience than the market teams. Booz is not an up or out company and will happily let you stay at whatever level ours comfortable. The work/life balance was great as well. Not sure what your skills are but be prepared to network and figure out where they plan to put you. One piece of clarity I would ask for is whether they have a position lined up or if you’re a capability hire. All in all, seems like an easy decision to take it. Worst case you move on in a year or so

SDS1, you auditioning for a job?

I have a PhD in computation data analytics fwiw. Thank you to those that provided value add input. Yes BA4, it was 170k

I've seen Associate hired at almost that level, ~155-160. These were SIG, data science, FSP clearance. These were people that were clearly slated to be LAs, but would be hired as Associates until they got the lay of the land and then promoted a year after hiring.

OP, ask about the specific contract you'll be staffed on and talk to someone on it about their day to day. Assuming you have a clearance, ask about what you'll be doing until it transfers. Ask to speak to whoever your Sr.Assoc. or Principal will be to ask about whether other contacts will be able to support that pay rate if something doesn't work out with this project.

Isn’t associate equivalent to SC at D? That’s a lot of 💰

OP said it’s not about money so he can’t decide. If he stays he makes 120k next year and he likes the culture then he likes 170k which is NOW as well. Apparently OP is confused because he is getting a manager salary and people are going nuts to convince him to take the offer. We consultant loves to gives advice when it comes to others and can’t make decisions for ourselves

I would even push to be a Lead Associate coming on board because that is very high for an Associate, almost unheard of. Even if you are a high performing highly visible associate at Booz that is way too much. Although, with your background maybe it’s a very niche role and requires clearance? I’m an LA at BAH by the way.

Doesn’t sound out of line for an in-demand tech role + clearance. Just don’t plan of getting any raises, bonuses, learning anything, or liking your job :)

On the plus side - reasonable hours.

I don’t know. Do you like money?

Clearance? That is high for a Booz Associate, they may be looking for you to move to Lead Associate in the next few years...if you stay an associate annual increases might be nominal.

like

Don’t do it. I used to work there and the culture is terrible. Based on the salary, you’re either more experienced and are expected to plateau at Associate for years before LA, or there is a specific need to staff a project - after which you’ll be hard to justify and on the chopping block. It definitely sounds too good to be true from Uncle Booz

170k is high for an Associate. Are you sure it's not for a Lead Associate? If so, that would make sense. If anything goes wrong, they blame the Lead Associate.
