I’m on the commercial side. This lifestyle isn’t sustainable. On the Fed side, it’s possible to have a long, sustainable career and personal life. That, by itself, is worth the 25% less income
4 years, GS14, 115k. 😄
Everyone will just be disappointed they get paid low in federal
SC1, and commercial folks will be disappointed when they find out that commercial and fed partners are paid the same.
@D2 the commercial folks will be okay, I promise
You got something you wanna say KPMG1..... I'll drop your audit contract in a heart beat. Plenty of EY buddies would be happy to help
5 years, SC, 101k base, undergrad campus hire no MBA
SC1, and the fed folks will be too. Hard to be disappointed when you didn’t have to travel all those years and still land at the same place
@D2 don’t be butt hurt please, I’m in fed too
2.5 years out of UG 109k (after mid year 3k salary adjust) promoted last Dec to 106k and have a wonderful sustainable life where I get to flex everywhere
4.5, SC1, 101k, MBA (not top 10)
Not going to lie.... I REALLY wanted to get an MBA (targeting Darden because it’s local and I wouldn’t have to take off two years), but to think I’d only increase my salary by maybe $10-15k is pretty discouraging.
Wow! I’m 6 years in, 3rd year consultant, 92k, currently looking for a move. I need to make the 100k leap ASAP!
8 years (3 in consulting), S&O, SC1, $91k, MPA from a target school, experienced hire
Why TF are there fed employees on here?
Federal paid less because its less margin less hours and more fungible resourcing. Not rocket science
3 yrs coming up — $100K
4.5 years, 130K, no graduate degree
6yr, C 96k masters, 8k sign on
4 years, , 1.5 years industry, MBA, 109k
