Hey gang, lately I have been thinking if I got underpaid. Graduated from master school right after 2020 pandemic and started by 68K as UXD in digital sales company based in NYC. With 2 YOE the salary went up by 3% and 5% average promotion. Now it comes up to 75K w/ 6K bonus. What do you think of this? My manager honestly told me I was underpaid during 1-1 but since he was newly hired not long ago, he told me he has no solution at the moment. Thinking of starting a new position...

I'd say that your salary is on the low side, especially for NYC.

You might wait until you get promoted to midlevel (if that is in the cards) and then leave. As a midlevel you could expect to double your current salary.

I was promoted from junior/associate to mid at 2 YOE. You should be looking for that promotion within the next year. If you don't get it in the next year it is another reason to leave your current employer.

Mid level designers are expected to own their projects with only minor monitoring from a Lead or Manager.

Getting paid 50k in nyc as an AD 😬

One of my school mates worked for Publicis and got promoted as senior designer within a year, so maybe considering getting promoted in title first before jumping to new roles? You'll acheive a lot more boost in compensatuon.

So Altman clearly beats out MBB in some sectors and is trying to position themselves as an MBB or perhaps tier 2 equivalent, but they’re just not matching the salaries. Why were Analyst salaries only raised to $95K when my friends at big firms (not just tier 2 but also MBB) will be making $100-120k as second years?

Hey, looking for a job change, does anyone know if they hiring ? Can anyone refer me ? 6+yoe in data analytics.

Trying to evaluate monetary offers is difficult since I receive a significant bonus for maintaining my clearance (120k + 30k for the clearance). So I’m evaluating a non-cleared offer for 180k. I don’t want to hold the clearance anymore. Should I evaluate it against the 120 or the 150 in terms of answering the question “is the jump big enough to leave?” With bonus and without clearance, it’s a 40% or so jump, but only a 12-15% jump with only bonus and base included.

Do I have a chance with MBB?

I’m currently working at a management consultancy (approx. 5000 employees) in the data division (in the UK).

I consider myself to be a top performer and was recently promoted from the grad scheme after 1 year at the firm (compared to average 1.5-2 years). I also have an offer for similar role at big4.

Is it worth applying as an experienced hire for MBB? I didn’t go to a target university so I’m wondering how I can maximise my chances in applying.

Thanks!
