Currently a C at Deloitte with 2.5 YOE, not in strategy. I am considering an offer from Strategy& for an Associate level position with 100K base. This salary is almost equal to what I currently make, so the only benefit would be the brand and firmly positioning myself in strategy, where I want to be. But I would also lose my network and various other benefits by leaving D now. It seems like I should reject it and try to move into Strategy at D until I find something better. Thoughts?

Take strategy&. It’s a no-brainer, especially with our promotion structure.

Don’t overestimate your network at Deloitte. Everyone is replaceable at the lower levels.

You can try for a sign-on. Our salaries are set by level - so this is the value you would get. You’re expected to be promoted to SA in one year (or you’re fired), in which case you’ll make 148k base.

Honestly if you want to do strategy I would take it and run. Your raises will be better over there. Have you tried negotiating yet?

Also, bonuses would be way higher at Strategy& compared to Deloitte.

If you can get promoted to Senior Associate level early, you will get to 140k base and then almost 170k right after. Bonus % will be a lot higher too

You will also work a lot

Hey FishBowl Friends, so I’m currently trying to break into tech sales/FinTech and I feel that due to my previous work history, I might not look like the ideal candidate on paper but I’m an extremely fast learner and very coachable.

I really want something that’s remote and steady, any recommendations on how to spruce myself up?

Hey all! I’m 30 years old. About to close on a house with a 5.75% fixed 30 yr mortgage. If you were me and your goal was to maximize your net worth by retirement, would you put a few thousand dollars extra into paying down the house faster or invest that extra money in the market? The 5.75% doesn’t feel that low but also not crazy high so I’m torn. Thoughts? 🙏
