Got an offer w booz w/out a signing bonus. Tried to negotiate one, and the recruiter said he will talk to his team and lmk the next day. Haven't heard from him in 2 days. Should I be worried? :l

Worst that happens is they say no. The fact it’s taking a while is probably a good thing, because I’d imagine they have to get approvals before formally offering a signing bonus.

Our recruiters do not have any authority over comp themselves. Everything has to come from the hiring manager. We also move slow AF. Don't worry about it OP. If it takes a while to get back to you it's just because someone needs to email someone else to remind them to call another person to ask them to approve something in workday so a different person can send a form to the recruiter so that... You get the idea.

Yeah it’ll take some time, originally got a 5k sign on, but asked for 10k and another 5k on salary. Took them about a week to get back to me on it.

Yeah they won’t pull the offer or anything, and it’s like anything else: send an email -> have a meeting -> have a follow up to finalize -> etc. it takes time

Your offer is still there, it just takes time when getting an offer changed/asking for a change. Plus it’s Friday before a holiday weekend. Likely you will hear by Tuesday if they approved sign on.

like

Recruiter probably has flexibility to go up to
certain salary and signing bonus, so they low ball a bit initially. Then they fake a “need to get approval” story to string you along so you feel good about negotiating. This is how other firms work anyway, but Booz is cheap AF.

Completed onsite interviews for the TAM role and recruiter gave me feedback that my technical depth wasn’t up to par for the role but my googleness/leadership and GCA interview feedback was stellar so they plan to propose me for Cloud PM roles instead. Does this happen? Or are they just being nice? What’s the probability that they’ll match me to another role?

Interested in working in PE, but experiences align more with the Ops side (3 YOE in strategic value creation).

Would also be grateful to learn about potential strategies non-DD focused consultants have used to ultimately break into investment teams.

Hi All,
In the HR discussion, we both agreed on 30L CTC (10% Variable) and 1L joining bonus. But later after 2-3 days when they need to release the offer, HR is saying they got the approval for 28L CTC(10% variable) and 2L joining bonus.

Should I take that offer and look for other options or straight forward reject the offer and then look for other options?

Also, according to this behaviour of the HR, is it good behaviour?

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
