Hello All, I have one question. I was a fresher and joined one organization as external employee with third party payroll. I worked as external payroll for 1 year then I became permanent employee of organization was working. When i was a fresher my salary was below tax slab so my external exployer did not generate any form 16 for me. When tried to switch my new organization wants me to submit form 16 as BGC process. Will my offer get reverted?Cognizant Tata Consultancy HCL Technologies Accenture
Hi, I recently came across Scaler's MS program, which offers masters degree in collaboration with Woolf University (European University). And, I am looking move to Canada in near future. Will the master degree offered through this course will be accepted by the education evaluation institute WES? If yes, is it considered as equivalent to Canadian Masters degree?

This is definitely one of us.
Omg! I’m pissed now. I’m a Principal in NYC with over 10 YOE and I’m barely hitting 150k with a bonus target of $18k 😭
Its low. Manager total comp should be at 200k or a little below
Chief
Not at B4 lol
Chief
145k for a newly promoted M (assuming you’re homegrown) is within range, but definitely on the lower range. If you’re in management consulting and not MBB (which from your title you’re not), I would say M salary is between 140-170.

Which firm?
Slalom
Compared to MBB and T2 it’s very low, but not sure if those are true comps; might be helpful to share some more details to get an accurate benchmark
Only full time experience is counted and looks like you have 4.5 YOE, so you are right in the range
Chief
What type of consulting? FWIW, I work at Big4 as a second year manager in risk consulting and I’m at 142k/year.
If you are manager equivalent, yours is in the rough ballpark. YOE?
Graduated in 16 but had a par time role in industry all through college which rolled into my full time role once I graduated.
So 5 to 7 years depending on how you look at it.

I’m a manager 1 in a low-mid tier city and make that amount, I would expect a higher comp for tier 1/NYC.
Chief
It’s totally in line for 4 years out of school at a mid-tier firm.
Coming from a Big 4 based on Chicago it seems a little low for a Principal, in my old firm Principals are equity partners that are not accountants.
I’m sorry Op. It does seem low even for non-strategy/non-MC and non-MBB.
Tier 1, Tech consulting new manager here making $172K base.
Can you go to HR to do a salary evaluation?
When people say total comp, does that include pension/ 401k contributions and other benefits, or just base and bonus?
Chief
It doesn’t usually include 401k contributions or pensions. Just base and bonus...and RSU if your company offers that.

Hold on, you were expecting a significant raise with a “promotion” at Slalom? How do your new job responsibilities compare to old? Ex. sales targets, people management?
New titles or not, Slalom comp growth tends to be on the low side. If you are looking for big4 type comp, you might need to deal with big4 type hours and stress...
$150k+ TC with under 5 years of experience sounds very reasonable to me.
Also... and I mean this in the nicest way... seriously doubt a big 4 would bring you on as a manger
To be fair it varies across the board. I would say you’re generally correct, but I’ve been at Slalom ~2 years and have seen my comp jump 17% since joining (and I left B4 with a 30% raise)
