How do you deal with consulting exit job offer that you think a low ball offer? I tried to push them but they push back citing that’s the max salary band for the role.

It’s hard to believe that since most of the team members are ex-consultants, hence I can benchmark salary from there.

Context:
Someone with post-MBA consultant experience just joined with the same role lvl offered to me. But, I got ~15-30% less from her/his salary at consulting firm, prior her/his exit to this company.

If they don’t budge… then just don’t take it.

Re: the other person, I’m assuming they have an MBA and you don’t? If so, then yes this is normal for industry. It’s not great but… it is often true that companies pay based on YOE/advanced degrees.

I suspect that too. A bit bitter given we have the exact same JD and role level😆

However, I want to leverage this safe environment to learn salary negotiation well. If I win, I got the salary increase, if I don’t, I walk away.

Tried to negotiate other aspects of TC to bridge some of the gaps, but it didn’t work.

Most industry jobs pay less.

Hello, I have an offer from Publicis Sapient for their product management internship program. Wondering if anyone has any insight into the program (exits, etc) and how the return offer looks like in terms of salary. I still also hold an interest in data science so might go with another offer but I’m not sure if it is a wise choice to let go of a PM offer while I have it.
