McKinsey & Company McKinsey & Company I have my first rounds (2 cases) for a position at the risk practice. Will I be interviewed by consultants in the risk practice? I wonder if I can ask some risk practice specific questions at the end of the interviews. (Didn’t get the names of the interviewers yet so I cannot google)

Honestly I view this as bad form/reputational hit to negotiate after accepting the offer on anything other than start date. Doesn't matter the reason.
I mean, sure I get it. But OP - forget bad form. Go get paid. Unless you’re a director/MD moving over, no one is going to remember you anyway.
It can’t hurt to try but you’ll have to be prepared to accept the lower offer to EY or walk away if they say no.
EY is desperate right now so I’d think you would have a fair amount of leverage. It cannot hurt to negotiate, I do every time I have a comp discussion with a lot of success. I’m currently making around 30K over my equal peers as a SM.
Sorry I picked that up wrong - if you’re 4 years into your career, honestly 4K salary shouldn’t stop you from being in the job you prefer. Break it down by pay check and see if you’re willing to risk pissing them off for that amount of $
Honestly as a first year your leverage isn’t that great. You’re probably going to make up the difference in a year at EY
Not sure what the $ discrepancy is, but for a few $k I wouldn’t bother
I get it; it is material to you. It just sounds like you prefer to work at EY, so I’m not sure I’d try to renegotiate after accepting and take the risk of them saying No or being annoyed before I start for $4k before tax for a job I really want. If you don’t mind walking away, that’s a different story.
If you aren’t already getting a sign-on bonus that may be a middle ground, where they could match through a 4k bonus, and then next year you would most likely get more than a 4k raise so it would be similar net pay.. PwC did that for me but it was before I accepted
Op are you fresh out of college or experienced person? If experienced, how many years of experience and title? It is easy for experienced folks to negotiate and firms usually pay premium for experienced folks. For fresh out of college, it’s take it or leave it policy.
For context, I’m a 3 year senior in tax being offered a senior role both at EY and industry
There’s no such thing as a better offer in industry as a first year associate
Op I assume you are saying you are S3 and close to becoming manager. With that kind of experience, it is very easy to negotiate. Have you gone back and forth when they initially offered you the role?
