Have an offer at a small consulting firm for a LT (around a year )contract likely to extend or become full-time at about 145k no benefits and a Deloitte org transf offered to bring me in full time but one level down C vs SC so around 110 plus bonus, significantly less. If I turn them down any chance to apply latter on? Any suggestions on what to do ?

Take D, after attempting to negotiate. Despite the big topline difference of 145 vs 110, the fact that you're on the hook for insurance and taxes as a contractor means you might better off with the 110 offer. The difference isn't as big as it looks after you crunch the numbers. In addition to comparable take home pay, D would give you more career stability and better exit options due to the better branding.

Tell Deloitte that you prefer them, but have a competing offer for more that you would have trouble leaving on the table because of the difference. The worst they would likely do is tell you they can’t come up, at which point you’d still have the opportunity to say “I decided to go with Deloitte despite the pay difference because bla bla bla”

Like an INSEAD or equiv? Are you targeting strategy and eventual lateral to MBB? Those both seem like low salary numbers for T10 international MBA + Ivy UG. Isn’t average starting salary for T10 MBA exits in the 160k range?

Agree with comments above. With 7 YOE I’d push for SC minimum. Know it may be a kick in the teeth with expectations, but if you’re good in industry it just takes a couple months to learn the consulting ropes.

145K without benefits and 110K with bonus may be closer than you think after you factor in paying for health insurance etc. on your own.

To clarify It’s w2 so not 1099 deff higher insurance but taxes should be about the same
