Hi there, I’ve been told that Deloitte (London, UK) is going to make me an offer but haven’t heard back and it’s been over two weeks. The recruiter mentioned it would be around the “m2 grade”. Any idea what this pay range is? … I have 3 YOE working in NHS finance and have applied for a position in Risk Advisory, public sector. Curious what life at Deloitte is like? Does a work life balance exist?

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest
I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.

i mean that’s pretty standard, signing bonus low i guess
I’m with SC here, nothing screams “ripped off” to me
Greatly depends on your business offering. 120k for SC is pretty standard, the signing bonus is indeed low, but that matters very little compared to your base salary. Also means that it’s less to pay back if you leave for another job within the next 2 years.

You’re ~28 and you make ~2.5x the US median household income. Hard to see how that translates to “ripped off”.
Besides aren’t you guys on a cohort system?
What does a cohort system mean? And if GH is not in a cohort system what is it on?
I wish i made 120k! I’m 30+ and haven’t even cracked 6 figs yet. Be grateful.
Word. Think my social security statements pretty much showed I was non existent from the ages of 20-30. And then after that it started to jump. The social security administration must have been like “where did this guy come from?”
From Guidehouse? They told me “we don’t do signing bonuses after the reorg” 😂
From a Google sheet going around, Deloitte GPS SC caps at 125 so that salary seems about right.
Maybe that was for C, I can’t remember. Regardless, here is the sheet! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gNutXZniuWEgMxW1sQHGzsxWIR8QshzWaEQHdTbgYeA/htmlview
Ripped off?? You’re dreaming. You were over paid by GH.
Hm I'd say you should be at 150 - 160 at least
More like $1mm
I'm a SC at Guidehouse and I make 95k with a TS/SCI. Class of 2015.
The pay band for SC is 75k to 140k. So you are making more than average.
That’s what I am making too and EY offered me the same pay band. OP is definitely overpaid unless he or she has some specific certifications
I’m coming in as a consultant at GH with a. Base salary of 80K and 3K signing bonus and I feel robbed!

P1 is right.
On top of that, if I was your hiring manager I’d be hesitant to offer you much more than that in salary (I admit the bonus is light). I make fun of consultants more than most people, but consulting is a skill. Until you learn those skills, you probably aren’t worth more than that.
I hired three Sr. Consultants in the last four months in 90-110 range with no signing bonus. This is however in Chicago though, but similar YOE.
Chill y’all. Never felt ripped off! You just have to get creative with how to solicit feedback because this question’s been asked a million times and wanted to know where I’m at on the scale. Great firm, great people. Enjoy the weekend. Numbers are also fudged a bit so it’s not an actual case.
I think you’re high actually as an SC coming in at $120k with no actual consulting experience at GH. Depends your practice and skill level but I think you did well. 6 YOE matters but less since outside consulting. $105-115k is more what I would have expected they would have given you.

That’s good money doing government contracting below manager level
Admittedly unfamiliar with how the Deloitte tiering system works but I thought that SC’s were paid $160k - is that just post-MBA?
It's a range and it does go up to $160k. Really depends on YOE, offering, clearance level, etc
