Got an offer at FAANG for PgM role with 140K in base + 70K in RSU (over 4 years). Have 6 YOE in consulting. With the new increase in pay at PwC the difference does not seem all that much though. Wondering if I got low balled and if there is anyway to renegotiate.

That’s actually a fair offer for an IC4 business role. Unfortunately as noted above our business roles are not paid well. Many leverage the move to make it into a more technical position. Personally I’d say since we are currently going through a lot of internal upheaval I’d avoid the offer for now (although benefits, brand and WLB are far better than PwC)

like

Not just what the company does ethically - there is a ton of regulatory scrutiny and negative press that is causing internal conflict, to an extent. It’s not a huge deal but it does impact a lot of peoples work

I had a similar offer from Google, it’s not a lowball , it’s what they offer and folks from Deloitte / pwc and more are accepting it. They don’t have reason to offer more as they are getting takers . For a 6YOE it’s actually good . I know people with 12-15 Yoe are accepting it as well . I personally declined it btw .

Google’s Brand is not the same as it was few years ago . Any company which hires 20k people per year is going to loose brand value. Work culture is very political and things move slow . Compensation wise, in my case D was comparable even after counting their RSUs. It came down to small growth in TC, supposed better WLB and free food. Growth opportunity wise I find D more promising , so I chose to stay.

Facebook/meta pays peanuts to non-core business roles. You can ask for more but I don’t think it’s too much of lowball. They only pay well for tech roles (PM/SWE/DS).

What location? If it’s LCOL or MCOL then it seems ok, forget it if Menlo Park or other HCOL.

This is for the bay area. I already live in a hcol though.

How many hours a week do you work at pwc?
How is their 401k match

So the offers really aren't the same. Especially when you look at pay per hour

like

What level? That looks low.

Level 4

I would not leave consulting for non-technical PgM. Unless you are trying to slowly make a shift to PM

The potential opportunity to move to another FAANG for PM or supply chain roles or even internally to such roles.

Also considering PwC is a tier 3 firm while FAANG would be tier 1 , I can always go back to consulting at an even higher role potentially.
