Currently making $120k base as a consultant at Accenture. Got offered $126k base with $20k signing bonus to move to PWC as a SA3. How much wiggle room do you think there is in the PWC offer? Chicago based.

If advisory, very little on base salary. We use a cohort model where all the base salary are defined by staff level and city tier. So all SA in Chicago in the same practice with the same years of experience get paid the same. Bonus is the only variable. So you would need to push for why you deserve a higher cohort band. At 126k, you're already near the top of the band. Since Chicago is a tier 2 city, that might be close to the max.

Unfortunately there isn’t much wiggle room. Due to the cohort model, all SA3s within advisory will get paid the same in Chicago. The only levers you can pull are the signing bonus - 20k is pretty high for an SA tbh, or level - I doubt they would bring you in as a manager if you have already received an offer as an SA

Yeah they said my LOE is too low for manager. Was gonna try for more signing bonus but even then feels a bit low for me to justify the move.

Pretty low YOE for a SA3 isn’t it?

I think they wanted to at least give me a salary that’s higher than my current one

No wiggle room on the base or vacation. Maybe the bonus though

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

Vesting schedule

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.

Hey fishes, can someone tell me how the 80c bracket works, i know i can get exempt upto 1.5lakh under it, what i wanna know is does PF comes under it or not? For example if my yearly pf deduction is 20k and VPF is 10k so now will i still be able to show investment of 1.5lakh under 80c apart from PF and VPF or i'll be able to get exemption on only 1.2 lakh( 1.5lakh-30k= 1.2lakh)?

Thank you in advance!!

Inspired by one of my kids' favorite books, I penned this masterpiece of an Ode to Consulting:

One senior partner all alone
Calls two managing directors on the phone
Three associate partners at the door
Bring along another four
Five senior managers come overdressed
Six managers show up with a guest
Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
Nine analysts come to work
ALL THE CONSULTANTS GO BERSERK!!!
