Got 2 offers of $175k base, $300k total from small boutique firms. For negotiation how much higher should I make the competing offer? 185/310? I dont want to make it seem formulaic or obviously made up. It’s a leadership role

What do you mean by boutique firms? Boutique consulting firms?

Regardless, your negotiation only depends on BATNA and your willingness to walk away. It is awesome that you have multiple offers but, in this current market, companies are more likely to pull back offers if they sense they are not your first choice. Happened to me too.

Side note, if i was a mck AP and got these offers, i would be disappointed. But we all have to work with what we get! I would say accept one of them but keep interviewing

The role is definitely a step up in terms of responsibilities from my current role as a senior consultant. Do you think it might hamper my business school application changing jobs so close to round 1? Have been at D for 4 yrs
