Hey! I’m a Corporate Banking Analyst covering primarily TMT and eventually want to make a switch to a Media / Tech company in a Strategy role (GTM, DTC, etc.). Unfortunately, I haven’t had much luck finding any resources regarding compensation at these types of firms. I was wondering if it would be a better idea if I stay in my current position until I get promoted to associate before I make the switch (if it helps getting more comp) or should I make the move after one year mark?

Also, do Tech companies generally pay better than Media companies (WBD, NBC, Fox, Disney)?

Just wanted to see since finance salaries have been bumped up recently, if these types of companies would match the banking base at least.

The salary bands are whatever they are, so it really comes down to whether or not you're a good negotiator. Check 'levels fyi' for comps and try to push the limits with HR (and never give range early on).

I jumped to traditional media & entertainment strategy after 2 years with a promo — they typically pay ~20% less than what I’ve seen in tech (exception Netflix but I’ve heard they’re in a hiring freeze). Look for SA/Manager roles

Hi Fishes, I grabbed an offer at Accenture with 12 LPA fixed for Level 9. I'm not getting a retention offer from my current company at 13.5 lpa. How do I go about a counter offer with Accenture HR? Also tell me how to approach this situation smoothly.

If HR doesn't fulfill the counter offer, is it ok to accept 12 lpa fixed for Level 9 and when will I get a hike here and how much would it be approximately?

Hey all, I’ve recently joined EY consulting from another Big 4 and have noticed there’s no discipline (at least in my team) around codes and charging time. People either charge a standard 7 hrs or some will charge time spent on internal activities to their client code.

Any thoughts?
