Had one last year but was newer, less leverage. Doing it this year, would still recommend it.

DD1 hit it on the head. There's a few factors, all of which make absolutely no sense and management trips over their own words when answering them. Non target school MBAs are brought in as C's, while target school MBAs are brought in as SCs. Then the pay gap is 30-40% less just to start, signing bonus is 10-15k for Cs vs +30k for SCs and the bonus eligibility is different too.

@KPMG mostly it's complaining about campus-hire MBA's who dwarf DHC's

Yea K1. S&O DHC will likely be in the 90-110 range, even with an MBA. Target school MBA hire is automatically at 147k because they went to a school that's on the short list

Grass is always greener..if I had taken the KPMG offer two years ago I'd likely be making more than I am now at D. Big regret. I feel like I have to stick around one more year to at least get vested into the pension program

@D1 - Did you join with an MBA?

D7, do you have MBA?

No MBA, lots of industry experience prior to joining D.

Makes sense. I'm also in HRT and I know I won't get anywhere close to where you are.

Fellow DHC here that just joined. Is there anything we can do to not get screwed over? Do those comp review calls with a PPMD help at all?

Can anyone explain why DHCs get screwed on comp? Isnt that considered "experience" hire to an extent since us is 2-3 years experience? I was under impression that experience hires make more than campus hires

I am an experienced hire. My case might just take you by surprise. I joined EY GDS 10 months back at 40% hike (leaving PwC) and now Deloitte (DIJV) is offering me 2 level up designation at Manager level with another 40% hike. This has effectively doubled my salary in the last one year bt still I am confused to switch or not considering the amazing bonuses GDS payed off today. Please suggest.
