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

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

Help- The project I am on is about to kick off a huge multimillion dollar implementation but I know I am underpaid. Also I feel like I am not being utilized to my full potential, and have witnessed some *not* best practices. I want out, but I also think this implementation is an opportunity for learning and in 9ish months could offer better exit opps. Should I stick it out or is 2yo consultancy and a masters degree worth looking for a new job now?

Hi Guys,

After my HR round today, Hr called up and said that will move forward with the offer but approvals with higher management might take some time as there is a hiring freeze.
Do you think offer will be released? And how much time these approvals take ?

She mentioned at the end that they are definitely going to offer as all feedbacks are positive.
But it all depends on the approvals.

I’m finding that a weird side effect of losing my job in this climate is ad agencies taking advantage of my weakened position. They get in touch, proactively or in response to my reaching out, and they want to hire me as they are in good shape. When I reveal I was laid off, the offer changes to freelance or maybe nothing. My work, awards, the fact that they know me and approached me in the first place should be enough. I don’t want to lie about my situation. Any ideas how to avoid this?
