Curious what KPMG salaries are like in consulting?

I spoke with a recruiter and they said senior associate role requires 3 YOE minimum and the highest they could go for a strategy associate role was 90K.

Was I lowballed or is comp at KPMG lower than other consulting firms?

Is the 2 years consulting experience? If it’s extremely relevant you might be able to convince a recruiter to give you an SA role at higher but you definitely aren’t going to get higher than 90k as an associate and that pretty much only a possibility because of NYC. NY campus hires are at around 72k for perspective.

Varies greatly depending on MBA and YOE. SA with MBA starts from ~$150K. Without it’s probably closer to $120k

I don’t know if that’s possible, the highest salary band for associate is 85k. So that seems low

I came in as an associate with a ton of working experience but only about a year consulting experience at $85k. We know it’s possible to get higher, but it’s not common and you have to have some stellar reason for it. “I make more” doesn’t cut it.

Oops thought this post was about a senior associate

Got a senior associate offer from KPMG for 120k

What COL? And practice?

Is it a Tier 1 city?

NYC

90k is normal for an associate. Why do you deserve to make 100k right out of college 😂

Tech consulting. And tier 3 city

Made 95 as an associate but not strategy.

I got SA 135

I have 3 YOE in audit and I make $90k, so when I get promoted to SA I assume I'll be making $100k+.

Nice! Audit tends to pay less so you’re probably at the very top of your band

Hello, I have an interview coming up with Facebook (Meta) and its a manager role leading a global process team with multiple people reporting to the role.I have been told by the recruiter that Meta is fairly flat and the title does not really describe its seniority. I wanted to calibrate my experience to the role, would anyone have advice regarding levels at Meta and any other advice for an interview with them? Thanks

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.

So it’s not like driving Uber, it’s a high stress/very involved job. Technically I have 7 years Active Army + 5 years D + 5 Years reserves if I count them.
