Hi all,

I am likely to receive an offer from BCG soon, either C1 or C2. I left consulting around 2 years ago as an Associate (post-MBA), and joined corporate as a Manager. Going to BCG will lead to a 30% base decrease, bonus will roughly be the same of 20-25% of the base.

I know the bands are pretty fixed. I was wondering if there’s any suggestions how to negotiate if there’s anything to negotiate? Possibly a sign-on bonus to cover the loss my first year guaranteed comp?

Sir, may I ask why you are taking a pay cut to join the circus? To your question - no negotiations except sign on.

Yeah. Very odd

Wait so you’re taking a pay cut to likely work more hours? Am I the only one lost here?

I was approached on LinkedIn for an early career recruiting role in DFW, TX. I don't have direct experience, but I have the university experience/connections from working in career services. This is the first time I've considered work outside of higher education. I said my salary expectations are minimum $90k and that didn't seem to be an issue. Am I asking too little, too much? How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?

I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.

After I realised I couldn't maintain all the unpaid overtime I was working I decided to take a turn and go to compliance, so now I work in CT compliance. I feel very surpressed.
