Do firms typically match salaries if they hear other firms have upped the salary? For example will Roland Berger up the salary if they hear BCG did?

They usually ‚benchmark with peers‘ without being clear on the exact peer group and while being intransparent on what is benchmarked (base, avg bonus , top bonus, perks,...), then they communicate ‚we‘re paying on par‘ ... 😉

My experience with any strategy firm that is not McK or BCG.

Match, no. Increase, most likely. ACN Strat always increases when everyone else does, but they never match. I had three raises in my first 15 months and two were market corrections.

Nah they usually will just let you roll around contemplating if you should try to go work for the competitor, try, then realize meh and continue at your current rate. Salaries would change every 6 months if this was the case

Not all parts of ACN compete with MBB for talent. That said, I use the term compete very loosely. A very very small minority picks us when they have an offer from both.

I recently interviewed for a small strat consulting company (energy industry). I have 3 YoE and would be moving from engineering. the HR person asked me what my salary expectations were I was caught offguard and said I would expect it to be at least what I make now (around 100k). Im now worried theyll lowball me because I really shouldve asked for 120+bonus (I think this is market rate?) But they have salary bands they follow right?So if they pay consultants 140 usually would they offer me 100k?

Fellow Fishbowlers,
Need to discuss an offer I got from MasterCard for Director of Product, based in Pune, India. Below are my details:

I have an offer in hand from a startup for 90 LPA + 1Cr worth of ESOPs.
What number should I start with and what should I really expect? Thanks much.

Hi all,

I had two technical rounds in tcs last month and now I have got the offer letter from tcs.

But I found one thing unusual that I did not have any salary negotiation call neither any hr round.

They released offer letter directly on ibegin portal with 60% hike on my current ctc .

Should I consider this as a fake recruitement.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks
