I applied to a senior consultant role at Deloitte. Spoke to the recruiter/had the phone screen where they confirmed I was applying to a senior role. I get the invite to the actual interview and it’s linked to a consultant role. What’s up with that? Did uncle D just pull the old switcheroo on me??

Uncle D recruiter tried same with me. He was asking whether I would be interested as SC whereas I am M2 in current firm. So I tried to pull one on him and said I am looking for SM role even though I applied for M role in the first place. Before ending conversation he agreed to make sure put me in M bucket for interviews😆. If they try to pull one on you, do the same to them lol

Noted!

We’re notorious for this. Granted in some cases it’s valid, but in other cases it’s not. I’d be more focused on the comp than title

like

Yes, but generally Deloitte is flatter than other companies and consulting firms. Comp for a Deloitte consultant can often be roughly the same as a SC at other firms.

My advice would be to be up front with the recruiter and have a number in mind and don’t budge from that. The bench is so small here so you definitely have more leverage than you normally would have

analyst, consultant, senior consultant, manager?

Alternative view - I applied to a consultant role bc that's what they had open at the time and my recruiter bumped me to a senior consultant based on the screening call.

So the talent system might just have a listing at the consultant level but really its an open spot they're using to hire for multiple seniorities.

Had a phone screening today with a recruiter for the same level of role. He said the consultant role is comparable to senior associate. Is this true or was I bamboozled too haha

Yeah you sound consultant level to me. Senior consultants are expected to be able to lead small work streams and typically have 4-5yrs

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!
