Folks exiting consulting at the Director level, what comp level are you expecting? Recruiter is pitching me $160k + min. 35% bonus. The $160k feels a bit low. Thoughts?

@P1 when you mention the word "firm" it traditionally represents a professional services organization (law/consulting/advertising). When you broadly speak about industry, you talk about companies and not firms. Nobody calls FedEx or Amazon a firm.

I'm not talking about anything w/PwC. I was industry before I was a consultant.

D directors make around 400-500. Are u talking about leaving as a M and going industry director?

Surprising that a Director would be offered 165

It depends on the industry and location, but the salary seems a little low to me. That said, it depends what you are looking for. Personally, I couldn't afford to take more than a 5% haircut.

This totally depends on location...in NY that's low. In Atlanta that's great.

160 in atl is low

^ Maybe Ive gotten low balled in Atlanta then too. 160 + 35% bonus is the best director offer I've seen acros

OP - your offer could be great or mediocre. Can you provide what industry and location? And what level / group are you and what are you making now?

@bain aren't Baik consultants pulling in close to 160 if not more all in at the manager level?

Bain*

So, everybody is participating in discussion, but OP... 🙄

It's in Atlanta for a large private paper and building products company as a BU Director reporting directly to the President. Bonus runs from 35% - 100+% depending on value creation.

I'd take it

K2, Bain consultants are making $170-200k all in at the consultant level... Much more at the manager level

Yeah figured. So @bain how is 160k director level offer the best you've seen?

Friends..
I have received an offer from KPMG Global Services, HR said there will be 10-20% yearly bonus apart from fixed CTC. But % numbers are not mentioned in the offer letter, Just they mentioned it as " You will be eligible for Performance bonus as per the company policy".

When I checked with HR for bonus % is not mentioned in the offer letter, she said... its not mentioned for everyone. 10-20% is common across all employees.

Is this okay ? OR anyone have their bonus % in the offer
