If I work in advisory, is there an overall salary increase once I receive my CPA along with the 5k/3k bonus if I get it within my first/second year?

Sadly, nope. It might be a little more, but not near what an experienced hire with a CPA would be brought in at.

Is my comp fair for a I/O Psych Master’s degree? I came in with about 1.5 YoE and started as a HC Consultant at 85k with 3k bonus. My new comp after 6 mos is 91.6k (w/AIP it will be around 96k at the end of the year). After talking with a few new consultants who worked here as interns (2-3 years) and don’t have grad degrees they are making around $96k BEFORE the adjustment.

Shouldn’t my grad degree be worth more? Let me know if I’m over thinking it!
