McKinsey & Company I received an offer from McKinsey & Company in 2021 and I’ll be starting later this year after graduation. Obviously because of the pandemic, inflation is slowly trending upwards. Has anyone asked for a base salary increase before even starting the job? Any advice on how to approach this?
I am sorry, is this LinkedIn or some dating blog?

I’d say it’s a risky strategy. Just be prepared to leave if you do try to negotiate. It’s a lot of cycles and capital people use to keep you and so they might not in this environment. Also if/when you leave you should look for a higher bump up than 20%. People will look at that as a validation of what you’re being paid and not a big difference. So - if you what to use it to negotiate I wouldn’t. If you are prepared to leave, I’d share your offer and what you’re thinking through and why with trusted folks. The bigger question people will also ask is are you happy with your role and your potential at EY and what do you want to see at work besides an increase?
Thanks. Makes sense. I agree with your idea on trusted folks first but only if prepared to leave as of course word gets around if you’ve communicated you looked elsewhere.
For more junior folks I have seen them counteroffer. I always think it is too late at that point but don’t know at the partner level if they make those attempts.
I am not at EY, but curious if that’s a trend there at all? I thought they paid decently but don’t know.
You have to be prepared to leave. However, no harm in trying. I have a contrarian view to the others on this thread. If your company wants to keep you, then they’ll try. And if your company wants to hold it against you, then that tells you all you need to know about your company in terms of a long term home for you.
I’ve always felt you can negotiate, but it’s a short term move. You will have just announced to your leadership that you are mercenary and will be leaving if you get the right offer. Nothing wrong with it as a line partner but they aren’t putting you in any leadership roles.
Helpful perspective. Thanks.
