Hey fishes in need of some career advice! Have 3 options coming up. (TC in Australian dollarydoos)

1) Stay at Capgemini, likely to be promo'd to Senior Con within next 3 months (TC: $74K currently, around $90K at SC)

2) Accept offer for strategy consultant role in industry (TC: ~$97K)

3) First round interviews for Monitor Deloitte strategy consultant role (TC: $80-90K)

In keeping options open, how would I delay accepting #2 to see how option 3 plays out if a Deloitte offer comes through?

Let Deloitte recruiter know you have another offer and see if they can fast track your interview process. Good Luck 👍🏼

When does #2 start? Always accept offer and then continue to recruit if the start date isn't urgent.

Also try fast track Deloitte.

I'd give a 2-4wk notice period depending on project handover needs so yeah not urgently moving.

Why would you turn down 2 for a lower TC that isn’t even promised yet?

Depends on your goals. If you’re staying in consulting then you could go either way. If you’re planning on exiting later then some B4 experience could get you a higher TC in industry

like

By TC you are including super? Or super and STI? All feel a bit low to me, but I did move to Australia post-MBA so the salary numbers I was given with base and super for strategy roles in industry were almost double your TC options.

Things to keep in mind: consulting salaries grow faster and promotions come sooner than in industry, with MBB salaries and promotions beating the Big 4. Also, it’s onerous to invest your money while working at a Big 4 because of their audit businesses and independence requirements. While you might make more at Deloitte than Capgemini, your options to grow any savings via investing is limited.

Yeah I was just combining base and super, no bonus structure I’m aware of for my grade. I also don’t have an MBA. I know Capgemini’s band is between 90-120k for lead con but not sure of Deloitte’s bands for strategy con.

Thanks for the advice and considerations!

Hey OP, I’m aware of people who’ve managed to nag a bit higher at Monitor Deloitte lateraling in

Will DM you :)
