Graduating Ph.D. program 2021, received offer from tiny boutique for 140TC+random small boutique benefits. Would be better commute, non metro area closer to home. Waiting to hear back from well known life science boutique (think ZS, Clearview, Putnam). Offer would be for NYC office, would likely relocate.

If offer is given, a) at what $ is this worth and b) is brand everything for first firm out of school?

Also would the life science boutiques reasonably pay more than that?

Don't accept anything less than your current offer: small boutique seems like a great deal if you like the people & market

Your comp will be lower at other options by 30-40k at least

Idk if that's completely true, our LS PhDs are around $130k TC.

Sounds about right for zs

See here for salary data that covers ZS, Putnam and more. Target 150 base.

Brand is critical, but type of work may be more important if it suits your interests. For example, do you want to focus on life sciences? If not, then maybe ZS isn't the best choice. Find out what the boutique does. Many times, boutiques try to brand themselves as doing a wide range of work, but in reality, 75% of the company works on one star client or one type of problem.

I think for OP, they will come in at the AC level. So, 150 is not applicable for ZS.

U can expect 135K TC at ClearView as an entry-level consultant

Hey everyone, I need some advise. I've been interviewing for a company for the last 4weeks.

I wasn't even okaay with Xk tbh, and now they've gone ahead and reduced it by 10k! I'm attending the final round on Friday - do y'all have any tips on how I can negotiate my salary to X+10 and let them know that this is highly unprofessional?
