Base or TC?

If TC, at MBB I’m pretty sure you can get there within 2 years of finishing MBA (or 3-4 years from undergrad if you go straight through)

It took me 15 years for base, 12 TC. But, inflation… now, I think someone at my firm could potentially half that.

12 years for base! But not in consulting anymore.

I've been in my field of work for almost 10 years, half in consulting and half in industry. I make 175K.

20 years for TC, still not there for base

3 years going from D to Meta for most of my friends when we first joined the firm lmao

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together.

My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

Hello! Looking at an opportunity with established startup in UK that's just been acquired by a large co. I'm US based and my salary is around $250k (NYC) -I've been asked my expectation without the startup giving me a range to work from (though I've asked). I'm not sure how to reply to them because I have a feeling that my requirement may be out of their range and while I don't want to undercut my value, I also don't want to be cut out of the process because it's an interesting co. Any advice?
