When you're starting out, you kinda gotta take what is given to you. If she doesn't take it, someone else quickly will.

In that situation, you accept what you are given with much gratitude and humility.

agree with both of the above posts - $40ish. reality, if she's just starting out, they'll make her an offer with little if any wiggle room.

My first AAE gig paid 42k, agency side.

As for 48 knowing she'll likely only get 40-42

Why do Big 4 firms interview you for a specific position level and then try to make you come in below that level...

That would be a lateral move for me in terms of level which be okay if at least it was a good pay increase but Their quoted pay range for the lower level would make it almost a lateral move financially too..

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice.

DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
