I just had a conversation with a recruiter regarding a consulting role in my area with one of the big four. The rate seems super low, ($25/hr?) and my experience is significant. I hadn't ever considered doing this kind of work, so I wasn't sure what else to ask. Should I just let it go?

You always learn by interviewing. It depends how much time you have and how much opportunity you have. If you have the time, continue the conversation.

Can I ask for more from a firm like this?

Consulting in what genre? That would probably influence rate. But either way you're right - $25/hr does seem low. If you really want to join, then counteroffer for more. It's pretty much expected these days and the worst they can say is no.

Is this a full-time role or would it be more contract/part-time type? Also, what type of consulting?

It can be a way to get experience with a Big Four company and possibly get your foot in the door. From that perspective, it may be worth it. It really depends on what your goals and priorities are.

That does seem a bit low, I would keep going if I felt there was room for negotiation.

That does seem rather low. Is there room to negotiate? I think I would see if there is any wiggle room.

Hmm if there is room for negotiation go for it. If not let it go because that is too low for a consulting role. best of luck
