Fair!

It's a big bracket because in some agencies it's an elevated SD role and in some, like Droga5, it's the equivalent of a ESD and the most senior level below head of department. So the pay can be anyplace between $200-300k.

Depends on experience. It’s a big pay band. I’d say 220 starting, but know some folks at G in their 40’s that made 300-350.

$200K+

240 is the low band I’ve heard. Upwards of 350 at the high.

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.

I interviewed at Google and cleared all onsite interviews back in July. Then came the hiring freeze and my role was de-prioritized. Now I'm being called for another position which I applied through the same recruiter before for the same group but different role. My question is will Google reuse the positive feedback and will it help/add value to this new position?
