I am with the Cyber advisory practice making about 170k base as M. I got an offer from boutique firm with 195K base and 15 % bonus and title of principal consultant . Less than 20 percent travel post covid . Has anyone made the move from Big4 to boutique firm and what was their experience? I am concerned about exit from the boutique firm few years later if I join .

Is the company called Infinitive by any chance?

Had an initial conversation a few months ago. I didn’t sense anything wrong, I had never heard of them before they called me though. Company isn’t big on titles. They seemed to be fine with my comp requirement.

On the contrary, I left a boutique for a B4 due to growth opps. At some point when at a boutique, at least in my experience, you hit a plateau of growth and experience. The larger firms that have a national presence was my attraction — and I made much more $$$.

If it’s Proxima, run

Sounds like I might want to stop the interview process then, appreciate the advice.

I have an interview with Korn Ferry for an associate principal role and am curious about others’ experiences have been with work-life balance here. Also, I have an idea of what I should be compensated in this type of role, but any insights on how they pay compared to others would be helpful. Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

Was approached by a SVP and hiring manager of another IB shop.

We talked, went great, he texted comp range etc. sent me a resume template to use, filled it and sent. He was waiting to hear back from MD, MD got sick.

He took resume to HR actual and said I’d hear from them. Haven’t heard anything week or so later.

Haven’t texted VP much as I don’t want to be creeper but really interested. Not sure how to engage at this point. At some level it seemed like a home run.

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!

Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
