Got an offer in industry for a corporate strategy job. The position is a huge fit. However their offer is 25K less than what I make now. I’m coming right in at experience level they are looking for, should I use my current salary to negotiate higher salary? Any other tips?

I’m very early into my career (2 yrs) for context. The only points of leverage I have are market rate (tiny bit higher than offer) and current salary ( 20k higher than market rate)

Don’t sell yourself short. You might as well just take their first offer

Negotiate but take it even if they don’t match. Consulting pays more.

Run dude. Don't go into industry so soon if you ever wanna make money.

Tell them that you are very interested in the role / team / company and would like them to match your current salary (at least) or meet $x for total compensation. Industry roles tend to have less bonus but more stocks so consider the whole picture

How'd they loow ball you that much if you had salary expectations for them.
Rule number 1 is always negotiate

For sure negotiate.

Yes negotiate. Factor in non-money variables (WLB, industry experience which is SO CRITICAL, new connections, etc.). You can always go back to consulting to get more money down the line. I bet you can get 10-15k more by asking to negotiate.

How much are you making at Accenture and what did industry offer? Title? YOE?

Incoming junior-level consultant wants to know what is “billable hour”.
Once in a while I see discussions around billable hours, but I don’t know how that works. After googling, it appears to me that billable hour only matters to me if my salary is paid by hours. Since I will receive a fixed annual salary, does this mean that I don’t need to worry about the concept of billable hours?
A related questions: generally speaking, is the bonus related to the hours that I worked?
Thanks!
