Got approached for an associate consultant position at Bain in London. Have 2.5 YoE. What type of salary can I expect? Given the hours I’m not keen on accepting anything below £60k base but so used to being underpaid I don’t know what a good salary looks like anymore.

I was offered 65k base for an AC (second level after A) at ZS in London. Not a direct comparison to MBB but you can make a judgment out of it.

Sure 😊 I would definitely expect +65 base for AC at Bain. Let us know what your offer ends up with haha

I would go for 90k at least

Seems drastically high. I know EYP London pays 70k for a similar level

Always been curious to know this - how come pay in UK/EU is so drastically lower than US for the same positions?

Lol unequivocally not true. In what way do you mean - I know some pretty exceptional consultants in the UK and EU

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE
