Totally depends on what you’re doing and what you did in the past. If it’s a big career shift then I could maybe understand. But 160k for 16 YoE seems low in general.
I’m guessing it’s not a big bump from what you have rn, since you’re asking the question?
Yes it’s not at all a bump. I am an Independant consultant looking to move to full time .
I am a data architect specializing in cloud migrations from on Prem data warehouses.
I love all this commentary (11+ people) with barely any mention of domain or level, which would be the biggest impacts on the comp in consulting.
Ok yea not bad
With 16 YOE, you should be making 250-400k
Data architect manager. Cloud migrations from On-prem.
16 YOE and only 160k base? Damn...
Yea OP can probably buy an entire neighborhood of rundown houses
That’s very low. If you had 5-6 YOE, I would say not bad. I’m guessing you’re roughly ~38-40. At a minimum, you should ask for $200K-250K base. I’m sure EY or EY-P would be happy to offer you the minimum I called out.
You’d be surprised. There are plenty of Sr Directors and PPMDs without consulting experience. Was surprised EY-P hired some of them as well.
While I think it’s low, it’s pretty obvious that people in consulting are quite out of touch with how much people actually make outside of this industry. 160k in Detroit is more than enough to make a living but as everyone says it depends on what those 16 years were, if you have an mba, what level, etc
Even within consulting salaries have a huge range. If they’re doing implementations than this is a solid salary. If they’re a Senior Manager this is low
What level?
For L7 in Detroit that sounds good.
Pro
Sounds good for M1 in MC
Rising Star
Level ? Role? And group will help
Rising Star
That’s a decent group! CL7 tops 165k good growth prospects
What are your YoE in?
Data architecture & analytics ..
Rising Star
Level?
L7 .
Lot better than mine no sign on and top tier area a d slight less base
What group in Accenture and what level? Without that it’s hard for us to really say. So take everything above with a mountain of salt!
Tech. L7 and data architect.
About Accenture annual performance bonus, what is the typical realization percentage of the promised target bonus? (ie. promise 15% and got 7.5%, that would be a 50% realization)
