If I am on track for promotion in October 2020, would you suggest purposely waiting until March or June 2021? Seems like salary negotiations/hikes for a 2020 promotion would be quite bad... any thoughts? I would think the bigger 2021 hike would make up for lost time. And yes, let’s assume October is still happening in this environment 😂 Thank you 🐠

Consulting pay should be structured on levels. And even if it wasn't,definitely better you get the promo now for money, skill Dev and exits. Don't think your negotiating power would be much less. And even it is it's worth it. For example, if your pay rises 30k vs 40k per year and you get promoted every 2 years - you are up 60k instead of just 40k if you get promoted later.

You should take the promotion now if they offer it to you. I don’t think your firm would look very favorable on you for deferring the promotion because of money. I would assume if you deferred, they wouldn’t likely offer it to you again so quickly

Appreciate the insights. Don’t think I would actively decline it, but was thinking of setting my target date later by extending my list of pre-promotion goals/timeline. But got it - I see the value in proceeding on course. Will consider that - thank you!

I recently interviewed for a small strat consulting company (energy industry). I have 3 YoE and would be moving from engineering. the HR person asked me what my salary expectations were I was caught offguard and said I would expect it to be at least what I make now (around 100k). Im now worried theyll lowball me because I really shouldve asked for 120+bonus (I think this is market rate?) But they have salary bands they follow right?So if they pay consultants 140 usually would they offer me 100k?
