Got an offer for £68k base salary and 4k car allowance for a manager role in consulting at a big 4. I have 3 years industry experience and 3 years consulting experience already- does this seem a big low?

Seems fair for the average working hours in UK.

Bit**

Seems low to me for a manager but maybe not for your YOE. I'm SC and get 62 total but have 3 years in industry and 2 years consulting so similar experience.

Not big 4, global but only about 300 or so people in London

PwC? This is a bit low but not awful if outside of London

This is PwC mind, KPMG numbers similar. Believe D and EY are higher for M. Some boutiques start M on 75k as comparison

Very low if you’re in London.

£70-£80 k is what I’d expect

So, for the level it seems low (but this will absolutely vary between companies as levels do), but your experience suggests its about right to be honest. But I guess it depends on your skill sets, exposure to different programmes and projects etc. If you are good, it will go up quickly though.

Love the car allowance element. Very tax efficient.

It should be benefit in kind tax: 20%

For context in London, our SC starts at £65k + benefits, bonus is on top of this and around £5k to £10k

I think £68k plus £4k care allowance for only 3 years experience is great personally!

3 yrs industry and 3 yrs consulting they’ve said

Which of the big four is it?

It's not D, they are just below our band mentioned above. I'm assuming it's not PWC either as they had pay rises recently to bring them to D

Think I know which Company. Well, you are 3k above a new manager’s base. You can maybe negotiate 5% more if you can show you have prior manager experience.

Hi peeps!
Got two offers on the table, who love to hear your advice!

- Finance Business Partner for a late stage (Series D/valuation 3B) startup tech company

- Corp Dev analyst role for a listed niche gambling company

The tech job pays 15k more, but from what I can see will be a cluster and super long hours (has EU stakeholders). Maybe a pipe dream, but I want to have a "somewhat" decent wlb while still growing my career toward strategy and finance.

Thoughts on which one is better?
