Hi, looking for some advice here. I’ve just received a job offer as a senior consultant (remote) at a boutique consulting firm for $115K (will bump up to $120K at the end of the year if I meet the targets for the remaining year). I have 4 yoe and I feel like this is definitely under industry standards, as I’ve heard numbers between 130-150 for senior consultants at other firms. Can anyone validate this range as industry standards and also provide some advice on how to negotiate a higher salary?

Sigh, how can anyone validate when you provide no context of the type of work/position your applying for outside of a generic consulting level.

Pay varies amongst a n number of factors…

Apologies, I’m in the payments/treasury space and working with a fin tech consulting firm at the moment, and I’m working on implementations of a product. The new position will be along the same lines, however it will be more strategy based (big 4-esque consulting style)

You are assuming tech consulting payroll is highly standardized by YOE across firms - well it’s not.

Without any details except you are 4 years in something, 115k for a remote position seems be ok.

Like P1 said, they are hiring for remote position. The flashy number for NYC/SF position has COL baked in already.

$115K for 4 YOE sounds about right.

Would it be difficult to get a job in IA if most of my experience has been auditing private non-404 asset mgmt funds? I really enjoy process walkthroughs when I have them though. Also, does title matter that much in IA?

Can title be negotiated?

I’m an Environmental Protection Specialist and make pretty good money for what I do. I just feel like I have more to offer than being a worker bee in a system at 25.

Any suggestions that won’t require me taking a crazy pay cut? I’m pretty much open to anything.

I am starting a 4-months internship at a company B in January. However, I just heard from a company T that they will interview me for their full time position.

Company T is paying me way more (twice) than Company B. And I like company T more. However, they want me to start working in February if I get this position. If I end up getting the offer, I will have to quit my internship at Company B, almost immediately after I begin the internship.

Is this okay?

Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
