If you join a firm & negotiate salary for tier 1 city (SF, NY), however then switch offices at that new firm to a tier 2 or 3 (ex: LA, SD), would a firm ever adjust your salary downward.....(cont)

Yikes, is there negotiation for how much of a salary decrease you get? Or out of your control for the most part?

Yep happened to me. Has to do with their comp and/or hr policies and how it ties to their operating expenses.

@SM1 not too bad!

....to hedge against projects or clients not being able to afford you in that new city? Ex. Working at Deloitte or ACT making 130 in SF, but decreased to 110 in LA....?

You still come out on top and are able to move to your desired city so what’s the issue?

Yes!
LA is commonly considered as T2 (same applies to Seattle) compared to SF/NYC across industries.

COL and competition of getting good talents should all factor in. Also, I believe there’s still a difference between the best bits of LA and best bits of SF/NYC.

Not sure if the difference is 30k though.

Parts of LA are just as expensive as SF. However LA has a lot more options with a lower cost of living.

Hello guys!!
Can anyone of you please help me out? Or atleast some advice!!

I'm a bit confused between Accenture and Bain & Company.
I've offers from both of these firms with almost similar package. The role is not related to consulting but more into the technical+business side.
If I go with Bain, will it be more fruitful wrt brand value and job switch in next few years?
Also, how is the hike and compensation benefits for the employees at Bain?

Any sort of help/advice is more than welcome!

Question re: salary. I’m thinking about accepting an offer at a small (4-6 attorneys) transactional firm. I would primarily be working on NDAs for clients. The role sounds great (no billable hours, fully remote, flexible hours/ can work from anywhere); however, the salary is $70K. I’m a new attorney, with only one year of experience. Does this salary seem low? If so, any advice on what someone in my position should ask for?

I work at st Christopher’s hospital for children in Philadelphia PA. And RD starting salary is $61,000. I think this is very poor for having a specialty and going thru 5-8 years of schooling with 3.5 years experience. The hospital also did not give the clinical nutrition department a bonus because we aren’t considered direct patient care?? We are 100% direct patient care on the floors and every unit. Thoughts on this for any fellow RDs?
