Hi guys, I am currently working as a Consultant in consultancy firm based out of US and soon would be completing a year.

Even though the firm is good culture wise, I cannot stop thinking about the wage pay gap that we have here. For example, a senior consultant (from a tier1 college) makes double of what a consultant does but the problem is that work/accountability/ expectation wise the posts are actually the same.

I come from a Tier 2 college and can't stop thinking about the wage pay gap in my own team. My problem isn't exactly the pay gap, i understand that Tier 1 folks would get a leverage but my problem is that if the work is exactly the same, then why are Consultants being paid so less than Senior Consultants?

Is this a fair generic industrial practice? Does this happen in MBBs and Big 4s too? Kindly provide your inputs please. Thanks

We are a firm of 5 transactional attorneys and the bonus structure is very unclear. The usual “based on personal performance and firm profitability” language. I wonder how this is calculated in general. What is the percentage bracket of the bonus? Assume it is a high performance 9+ year attorney and the firm is profitable (even with COVID). The based salary is low $120k. Firm is in Tx. I’d love to hear your comments.

Hello, I am in USI GES tax at DUSI. I love my job but not my team and mgmt anymore. I'm a performer and I'm dumped with work of 2 ppl while others are searching for work. I am burned out.

I resigned and accepted a job with EY GDS with a huge pay bump that DUSI can't match but I also gave up my potential promotion for 2023.

I've been feeling bad about putting my papers down and letting go off my promotion but I am really tired. I took up this job as an escape.

Did i do the right thing?

I've been a government attorney for nearly three years now and have worked in the same office/division since I passed the bar.

I know this is meager, but I'm mostly ok with it, I just want to see some recognition. On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine negotiating because (given my inexperience), I don't feel I'd be able to do better anywhere else. Any advice?
