For folks that have 10+ years of experience in Canada, what has salary progression been like for you? Keen to hear from folks that stayed in consulting as well as folks that exited. I keep seeing American numbers and want to get a better understanding of what growth can look like in Canada. Thank you!

Wow! What role did you leave consulting at, If you don’t mind sharing? Was that role in Canada too?

Role was in Canada. Don’t really want to say the specific role given ability narrow down to who I am. However, exit was in pensions/PE.

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa

What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?

Hi, I’m a Canadian PR holder currently in the US. Trying to make the move to Toronto in the new few months.

Is there anyone on here I connect with to understand more about Deloitte’s hiring process? (Recruiters I can reach out to, people willing to give referrals etc)? Would be very grateful! I have contacts in Deloitte US but that doesn’t seem to apply for CA!
