Hey folks, is it possible to negotiate salary at an MBB? For context, I have 8 years of experience (4 in consulting and 4 in industry) and have been offered a post-MBA role.

For consulting roles, depends on the firm but signing bonus can always be. For internal roles, generally yes.

By how much? Mine is 30k atm

At Bain, salary (and bonus targets) are fixed based on level (I.e., no negotiation). I believe there is some flexibility around signing bonus. You can also negotiate which level you come in at, but you will of course be held to the higher expectations.

I want to spend $10k on a cruise to Antarctica. My wife doesn’t want to go and doesn’t think I should spend the money either. I make 200k and she makes 65k. I worked hard to get a 37k hot skill bonus from all the certs I studied for. We are recently married. I’m discouraged because I feel like I can’t save and spend my money the way I did before. I know marriage is supposed to be united financially, but since we are recently married it’s tough to give up my freedom financially. Advice?

Keen to break into a corporate strategy / strategic initiatives role at a payments org (think visa, Mastercard, Amex, Stripe, PayPal).

Any advice on how to break into the above and if it’s realistic to begin with re comp expectations. Thank you in advance
