I have interviews next week with Deloitte (Sr. Manager consulting role) and PwC (product/marketing Director role) and am dreading the "how much money do you want?" discussion. Ranges on Glassdoor for these positions are massive. Any guidance on where to start salary discussions with B4 firms?
For context I have approximately 12 YOE and currently make $205k TC ($175K base) at a small tech company.

I was told by a Sr. HR professional that you always go mid- high and ask for at least 10k more than what you really want because they will always to talk you down

My general rule of thumb has been to add 10-20% to my current salary and ask for that.

That's not a good rule for 2 reasons:
1. You might be severely underpaid in your current role
2. The pay range for the role and industry you're applying for might be much higher (say 50% higher) than what you're currently making, so you'd end up lowballing yourself and coming in on the lower end.
Always conduct a market rate analysis and go from there.

SM at D ranges from 175-250k, of course there are cases higher or lower. Aim a little higher than what you would accept. Maybe ask for 220k base?

I would ask for no less than 220k.

Any advice would be appreciated regarding networking, where to start, etc. Thank you.

Hi guys, so a friend of mine has been head hunted for a job as a designer position for a interior design company. His current job is a good position which puts him on track to be creative director in 2 years. His current job is a great role, loves what he does but he’s not being paid as much as he should and he’s pretty curious about this other job offer. He’s thinking of going for a meeting with the other company. What kind of questions do you think should be asked in the meeting?
