Hi Fishes,

Need some inputs Thanks in advance.

I have total 13 YoE 11 of which are in tech consulting (Non Big 4)

I have an offer from EY and they have indicated base pay as 145K for senior consultant position.
I feel it's low. Can you please suggest how much should be fair base compensation for this role?

Pay may not be so out of line, rank however kind of is. Have not really heard of many senior consultants making that much, that’s more inline with manager salary I believe.

Yup. Normally senior consultants around 120k

Sounds like a decent offer

Negotiate and get in at a manager level..

Consultant 1 - that is correct. I have seen it a number of times at EY. They bring in at a rank lower and want the person to prove s/he is ready for manager and will promote in 1-2 years. Ive seen people with 15 years of non-big 4 experience brought in as a S3.

This is an excellent offer. Normally senior consultants make around 120k.

I would push for manager level. I had 13 YoE (0 in consulting) before joining business consulting. I came in at about 220k base although I was in a specialty group.

Senior leadership is so unforgiving that I fear by giving notice, I’ll be asked to leave and lose out on two weeks pay.
Thoughts and feedback on not giving notice or reducing the typical two weeks?
Thank you!

So, recently got put on a PIP after six months at my new job., two days after I told my boss and HR I recently learned I have a cognitive disability caused by an illness.

To clients.) and simultaneously ask more questions and ask fewer questions. Should I just assume this is unattainable and look for a new job again?

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
