Have been with Deloitte for about 2 years (plus 3 years prior in industry). Looking to stay in Consulting but want to jump.

I am only making $75k as part of a Deloitte model called US Delivery Center (essentially a regular consultant but minus the travel). I am happy to travel and all. Just feel like I could be making much more than my current salary. Background/focus is in workforce and organizational transformation.

Any recommendations?

Look into some of the boutiques or specialized firms. People don't bother to put them into "tiers" because they don't do everything and have small scope, but many of them are very profitable and treat employees well.

Only way to really know if you could be earning more is by interviewing with other firms and seeing what their willing to offer. Alternatively have conversations with peers to find out if you’re being paid fairly

Key is to get out of a shared delivery center - y’all are paid much less than traditional consulting orgs within big 4 (we have one too that also gets paid significantly less)

Definitely agree. When I joined D, I had no idea there was a difference until I started working on projects and found out I was making $20k less than my peers

You can make like 120-140k TC doing the exact same thing at Deloitte or any Big 4/ACN

I guess these are analyst roles? I think many people at D make over 170k base post MBA.

Jump ship to another big 4 or a better paying job in the industry

Just interview at other firms. But what level are you? You need to increase your salary band when you talk to recruiters otherwise you’ll get low-balled.

I think you can get at least $100K. Always ask the recruiter the range for the position first, then you can state your range. If they ask you how much you make now, say $90K. Have a $30-$50K range no matter what.

I.e. I’m a manager and I give a range of $160-200K for industry roles.

Is that role client facing?

Specifically highlight your client facing exp and mention you are confident in your ability to build relationships with key project stakeholders

Keep in mind even the analyst/consultants at Big 4 are expected to be client facing and MBB is CXO facing

You got this, aim for 135k and shoot for boutiques, Accenture (make sure it is client and market role because they have delivery center tracks too), etc

Go get your worth OP!!

DM for Accenture, you deserve > $100k!

As someone who worked with a ton of USDC folk (ex Deloitte), the way to get out is to tailor your resume as a regular consultant (which you really are) and go to any big4 as a lateral hire.

Right now isn’t a strong time to move, but most people I know who left USDC (specifically human capital) were able to go to another big4 as a senior for 120k+

It’s now been a week and both recruiters have been unresponsive. Did I just lose this offer bc I tried to negotiate a more equitable comp pack, or is it a slow process?

Hi all 🙂👋🏻 Apologies for such a late post. I have an offer of 18 CTC(1L joining bonus) from Larsen & Toubro Infotech & 12.5 fixed from IBM .
My joining in both are in around May last week. Tomorrow my IBM pre onboarding HR will connect with me. Should I ask for a counter offer tomorrow itself?
Or should I ask 2 weeks before joining?
Many told me that companies revise CTC when the joining date is near, else they show less interest. So should I go for it now itself?
Appreciate ur inputs🙂

Will ZS be a good choice for me to switch? In terms of growth, technologies, work, pay. Or should I accept what cognizant is giving and get retained?
