Does anyone actually think they are paid well? If so, where do you live, your level, and pay?

I live in a fairly average-low cost of living and make 48k at a regional &feel I’m under compensated.

What firm are you with? You are terribly terribly under compensated, even in a low cost of living area. Is this your first year out of undergrad? Most firms bring in new grads at at least $75k even in a mid cost of living area.

Where are you living, and what is your background? With compensation that low, I’d recommend taking your skills to market and seeing what competing offers you can rustle up.

48K doesn’t sound like management or strategy consulting. It largely depends on the years of experience you have, the type of “consulting” that you do, MBA or no, and as you stated, COL

However - if you’re not a consultant/client facing (work internally, support staff) you may make less

If you’re doing audit or non client facing analyst work, then it could be normal. We have a group of analysts that are not client facing that get about $50k.

Jesus where do you work? I live in DC and my starting salary was 72.5k. You should switch firms

What firm are you at where they pay associates 48k?
73k 1 year out of undergrad DC, just accepted an offer for Deloitte consultant level GPS for 90k+15k sign on +16% target bonus

Sounds like you need to move firms

Human capital

One year out of school, $95k base plus $10k signing in [nyc/sf]

48k is definitely not high, but you mention you rent your apt for $750. Do you feel like you are comfortable? I.e. meet your needs, pay your student loans, put a little in savings in retirement, and have some fun money? If so you are okay for an associate, if you are having trouble meeting the items above you may want to find another firm.

I’m happy where I’m at. $95k, 4 years post undergrad, Chicago.

Depending on what city you are in and if you are fresh out of school, that sounds normal. I also started out in a low-average cost of living city and was at 49k.

96k DC almost 3 years out of college

85k, NYC, right out of undergrad

Hi! Wanted to get thoughts from those who have exited to a startup from MBB/T2. Have an offer from a series C start up — would take ~$20k base cut but with bonus (annually) would make about 25k more TC plus RSUs. Much better WLB and great people. Is the base cut normal? Thoughts?

Need help settling a debate with my friend. She thinks I will have an easier time getting research grants because I'm male. I think it's the opposite because companies are trying to change the status quo and get more women involved (which I'm not complaining about... please don't attack me.) Which one of us is more right than the other? I'm interested in getting as many viewpoints as possible, whether or not they agree with me or with her. Thanks!!!

Hello Guys,

I got an offer with Deloitte India. It says my designation is Manager and my career level is Manager. And the business/ service line is consulting.

I have another offer with EPAM which is only 2 lpa less then Deloitte India.

Am not sure how the WLB here in Deloitte and not sure about my work location. I got the base location as Chennai Tnagar which is very far for me since i reside at Siruseri.

Help me to pick the better one. How about the yearly hike in Deloitte India ?
