I signed at Deloitte at $85K as an “experienced hire” in 2019. Business Technology Analyst Role - Texas

i started off at 50k 18yrs (ish) ago

Not even T2 here and out out of undergrad hires are above $85k in base. Depending on how the year goes, they can go above your range in TC. Consulting is a very broad field with many types of work though.

Started off at B4 in 2011 at $92K.

COL matters.

74k in 2019

Hard question without firm type / role / year

When I started in 2015 salary target UG school was 65k-75k depending on - strategy / tech / human capital - profile hire

10 yrs later its $90k for target school strategy hire (~2% increase YoY)

78K + 10K singing at PwC in 2021.

$55K in 2006

~120k-130k TC at MBB

Started at 82k in NYC 2015 (Accenture)
Also had an offer that year for 75k at Deloitte in Austin

We start 95K + 10% in HCOL

Deloitte - sibling got 85k + sign on bonus this year

Chicago, 2021 start at a smaller tech consulting firm was 70,000 for me, that was 5 years ago now so I’m guessing higher starting salaries today

Tech consulting at PwC starts at $90k base entry level in HCOL city.

68k 2022

Is it common to offer signing bonuses for product managers? I've only worked in small companies and I'm currently interviewing at a much larger company.

I'm taking a cut in salary to consider this new job but I like the company and they actually offer benefits
