Hahahahahha.... No.


I mean, you physically can.. but I doubt that reason alone will get you a bump in pay. However, negotiating your salary is part of a normal job search, as long as you’re not fresh out of college and wet behind the ears. If you have leverage (experience, demand for your skill set, and super rec letters) you can try and negotiate for a better pay, yes. GL

Yes, you should be able to ask for more money. Most of these companies are going to give you an initial offer that is on the lower end of the range, so try to see if you can get movement upwards :)

It can be very intimidating to do so. I tried to do so and then on the call they were like nah, and I was like oh ok...

Sorry, this is in general, not for not going through a recruiter

I asked for a sign-on bonus because of this and they agreed.

Had only one call with my TL in first two months. Few weeks later, on workday I noticed that my TL got reassigned. Contacted him and have setup regular catch-ups. He dropped a bomb that he is leaving and I will be reporting to partner. Partner is time poor and no feedback is offered. This is my first consulting role and I feel I am not receiving enough support. Few people are helping to learn the ropes but WFH has exacerbating the problem. How do I get a TL to receive pointed feedback? PwC
