Hey, currently at 5 months into my first tech consulting role, 85k TC, want to make 120k by next job hop, anyone have any tips to which firms will pay me 120k next year? Base is 75k which is pathetic.

Good luck! Just to get this straight... you have 5 months of experience and want to make 120k with 1.5 years of experience?

112-115k TC w/ 1.5 YOE, Non-strategy, MCOL

Hired at 85k TC and promoted to SA after first year. It’s possible, I’m sure, but 120 will be a reach.

Feel like 75-85K is pretty fair for an entry level position

Whatever I can do intern likewise. Hiring freeze unfortunately now at msft so EY probably in a better position to help immediately

Oh this is going to be a fun thread.

What’s your YoE? What firm are you at? What skill sets do you have (sql, terraform, C+, python etc)? What educational background do you have?

like

Any of the big4/Accenture will pay most with 2 YOE 120 give or take (as long as you come in at the second level, eg senior associate / consultant), depending on how you interview and how hot the market is in a year

I moved big4’s and went from 90 to 130 just after the 2 year mark

So does Deloitte have more years to get promoted in contrary to EY? Or are the years of promotion similar

🙄 oh the entitlement. I started my career at $30k and six months later moved to another for $36k. What are you offering the employer with barely any experience to put you over 6 figures? Genuinely interested to know the thought process. It’s about having the right experience and attitude the company wants. Skills bring the money, I would suggest working on those.

How much you making rn? And YOE?
