Have been in consulting for 10 years now mostly at Big 4s/ smaller boutique firms. I have been at KPMG now for over 2 yrs and make $116k as a senior (advisory). Thoughts on whether my salary is in range? I’ve been hearing folks in similar situations making 130k+. Boy much transparency on pay— trying to connect the dots!

How are in “consulting for 10 years” and still a senior?

Is that bad? I have lots of colleagues in same boat. The range is big— I have seen 0-11 yrs with folks I work with in the ‘senior range’. It is frustrating though when young seniors make manager after 2 yrs when we are hired on as seniors with double, sometimes triple the experience in years

Yea but moving from tax to audit is different — into consulting there are my y more transferable skills vs into a very niche field

Wow. At 10 years in BTS (general tax) I was making 150k in MCOL.
Consulting in a HCOL should be at least 200k...

Really? What SM year were you?

At kpmg?

Same here.

For your title this is appropriate, for your experience maybe not. This is about the top end of your range and there is not a lot of room for larger raises until you get promoted.

Hi all, I interned at IBM Cloud this past summer and had an overall very positive experience. I’ve received an offer from IBM consulting to come in as an Associate Offering Manager. The offer is 77k base + 10k signing bonus. From my point of view, this is a strong offer, but not quite what I was aiming for. I’m in my final year of school and will have a B.S. in Information Systems & Business Analytics. Is this a good offer? Or should I look elsewhere?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
