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

In our Asia practice (and globally tbh) there is a conscious attempt to match salaries if flagged out

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.

So
- I didn't get selected in the H1B lottery.
- My company has agreed to send me to their London office for a year (haven't yet filed application).
- OPT ends in late June, so I can stay till mid-late August (grace period).

Question:
Should I just move to London as soon as I'm able to, or is it worth waiting until the end of my OPT in August in case they do a second round of the H1B lottery?
