Have an offer for a SM strategy role in industry. Offer is coming in at 280- 300 TC. Total experience 10+ years, 7 YOE at MBB, T5 MBA, MCOL city. Am I being low balled? Should I continue to search for something better?

1) it’s a bit low
2) MBA tiers are 3 and 7

likefunny

Correction: MBA tiers are 2, 3, and 7

That offer seems pretty spot on. Point of comparison: my spouse got TC of $250K-310K (wide bonus range) as a Director hire after 6 yrs in IB, T3 MBA.

(Pretty LCOL city, though)

That's pretty good, on par with some possible FAANG exits, though you could do up to 15% a bit better with some other FAANG exits, but only in SF/NYC. I'd probably take it.

Thanks! I think the delta in COL between where I live now and nyc/sf would be way more than 15%.

I think that’s fairly high end of the range for that type of role in industry. What vertical?

Doesn’t sound like a low ball to me. SM in F100 strategy here and my TC is 200.

I’m at 7 YOE at a T2 and negotiating a strategy role for 300

Man. 300k with 7 YOE? Where?? Is it a HCOL city?

OP - if you are a principal at MBB, your TC should be higher than $300K. Just based on that, this would seem low to me. Am I missing something?

Still doesn't compute OP. Are you saying you would take a roughly $50K cut to take this job? Because the average principal at MBB should be pulling in $350k+ TC. If the role is looking to recruit consulting principals, that should be the bar. $300K seems to be more targeted at our tenured managers right before principal

I’m a director and I make a little less then that. FT200

Scenario: You’re interviewing with a Series A startup, funding was ~20 mil. Founders are Ivy leaguers, ~100 full time employees, you’re not in loveee with the role, product is something you do see some potential in being disruptive in the industry. Catch is, they switched the role on you that initially you applied for, new role is lower comp, lower equity (4 year vesting with 1 year cliff), likely less stress though. Base is a ~20% cut from your current base. Do you take the role? Discuss!
