In hand salary?

I have recently joined EY SaT group as senior consultant recently in Netherlands. I’m tripple masters in MS economics, MBA and MS business analytics. Have 4 YOE in different industries but no M&A experience specifically. Any ideas what company should be offering me? I’ll be working as expert on commercial due diligence, FDD and valuation teams and doing automation alongside. is it wise to demand higher salary or promotion soon after I have proven that I can work and do it better than most?EY

Yes - example -> me.
Work my ass off and extremely competent. Early promoted to senior. Early promoted to manager.
Networking and branding is the shortcut. Aka kissing up and self promoting
No. Even if your promotion was based on putting in 50% more hours, would your next promotion be based on 50% more than that?
Instead, focus on "customer delight." Make sure your internal or external customer is overly pleased with the work. That shouldn't take 50% more work, but a little extra time out of your 40hrs ensuring they are pleased with the deliverables. Quality is usually the answer over quantity.
I’d say yes, but turns out that’s a lie. Been at current company little over a year, busted tail and was recognized throughout the year as fast track for promo. Just had eval and got rated middle of the road, promo is in limbo cause we’re in between directors, and then got all the extra duties I’ve been doing as BAU work for this year.
Personally no, I'd rather have WLB at this point. The money is manageable and it's not really worth working harder just to get more responsibility. I like the level I'm at
In my opinion, going above and beyond is only worth it if two criteria are met:
Your company regularly makes promotions based on merit rather than tenure/politics. (Bonus if they have more than one promotion cycle per year.)
Your company pays/compensates exponentially higher per promotion.
If these two criteria are met, then going above and beyond certainly has benefits.
If we define "above and beyond" as "work more" then yes. It is not worth working yourself to the ground for a job.
