How soon is it to ask for a raise? Just joined a small boutique consultancy doing M&A work in London two months ago after finishing an advanced degree. Recruiters have already reached out saying MBB and Big 4 are hiring and interested in my profile. I like my current company but with the way inflation is going, money matters more + interested in better growth opportunities in a larger firm. Is there scope to negotiate a salary rise so early into a job or should I bail for bigger?

You can ask but probably won’t get one. Best way is to have another offer (can be one where you don’t even want to work for that company) on hand and ask them to match. That’s your only leverage . Or start applying and leave for something better

Whilst big 4 has a pull, bear in mind they aren’t agile and pay/promotion is very rigid process. Hopefully your current employer is more agile. Also, Big4 doesn’t always mean long term better pay. Could be a good negotiation tactic, but you have to be prepared for your boss to call your bluff and you’d have to leave and join if you got offer

Get another offer and ask for a match.

Hi Fishes, I grabbed an offer at Accenture with 12 LPA fixed for Level 9. I'm not getting a retention offer from my current company at 13.5 lpa. How do I go about a counter offer with Accenture HR? Also tell me how to approach this situation smoothly.

If HR doesn't fulfill the counter offer, is it ok to accept 12 lpa fixed for Level 9 and when will I get a hike here and how much would it be approximately?

Advice and tips for a first time rental property investor?

I am 24 saving up for my first property to purchase at the end of 2021 / early 2022 in the Long Island, NY area.

I’d like to save up around $50K in my HYSA for a property <$400K in LI. Does this sound reasonable?

Does anyone have any advice on investing in the LI area (best location, SFH v MFH) or just general first time rental property buying advice?

Thanks all
