Got an offer from McKinsey, but just learned that my new base salary at EY will be the same as McK is offering. Should I negotiate with McK? Do they normally negotiate the offer or is it leave it or take it?

You can’t be serious. It is never about the salary today but the salary afterwards (which is standard across hvac firms and non negotiable). Take McK and learn and realise your full potential.

Someone on this post commented that they got you to match tc with proof soooo…. 😬

McK pays that low?

The position is Engagement Manager at McK, and I am a Manager at EY now. I believe I can still ask and the worst thing that can happen - they say “no”. I don’t think McK can/ will withdraw the offer just because I asked?

I came to McK from EY. Take it. The work, exposure, and people are next level🙌🏽

Are they downplaying you? Or is the offer in the back office at McK? Everyone knows McK pays higher in comparable roles or experience.

It’s an offer in Management consulting. I don’t have an MBA tho…

Hi Everyone. I completed my 1 year in EY in October 2022. And in my profile, they have updated it to Senior Analyst now. But that was a progression that happens every year and I have not received the incremented salary.

Now that they are giving increments to everyone, will I receive both progression and increment or my progression will be counted as increment.

Highly confused.

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started.

He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?
