Hey people , how's annual hike in cisco ?
Does anyone have experience interviewing with Deloitte Internal Services? I had my final interview a week and a half ago, and received positive feedback throughout. The hiring manager had positive things to say and mentioned they hoped to make a decision by the end of last week. It’s now Friday the week after. The role still shows as “Interviews in Process.” We did discuss potential start dates, but no salary. Any experience with receiving offers for an internal services role? Is this common?

From my brain- getting paid well is a privilege. (I also think I get paid pretty well for writing dumb jingles and stuff)
A lot of rich people replying here... $115k for one person is SO much. I don’t count poor budgeting as a “struggle.” Maybe we need different words here to delineate between the struggle of being responsible versus the struggle to put food on the table.

Guess you can see it here too.
Capitalism is a hell of a drug.
Is it privilege or they just get paid more?
This.

I meaaaan, it showcases a privileged childhood if you don’t realize that’s a lot of money and far from struggling
$2.5k/month, or $30k/year, is the rent you stated. I’m saying it’s too high. I don’t know what city you live in, but there are plenty of places in NYC and its suburbs where you can get a multi-bedroom home for much less than that.
Do you have kids? Live in nyc or other big city? 115 ain’t gonna get you too far
Not going far at all.
115k CAN be a struggle, if you don’t know how to budget. I’d rather knock on that than the figure itself
TRUE! It’s enough to do what you need - not necessarily everything you want.
Taxes bruh
Debt bruh
115k is not a lot of money in a big city. Thats a Senior Copywriter, and having enough to rent a one bedroom, no car payment, and be comfortable.
I get what you’re saying, but it’s very possible to struggle hard even at $200K above. You don’t know if that struggle is due to poor budgeting, or needing to support children, parents, and extended family. and in NYC, $110K sounds very low for a consultant.
Poor budgeting is, put another way, being irresponsible. That’s fixable. Not easy, but fixable. It’s a complete farse to suggest that 100k+ isn’t enough to survive on. Budgeting is about prioritizing, pure and simple, based on income available. If you have more going out than coming in, you have to prioritize differently in order to survive. Supporting extended family? Ok, to make that work, you probably have to live closer to the bone yourself. It doesn’t mean 115K is unlivable, it means you’ve got different responsibilities and therefore have to make different decisions.
From the few consultants I know personally, I wouldn't call 115 privileged for what they do. Those dudes grind.

Construction workers can make BANK! But then again consultants still come out on top bc they aren’t at risk of getting beaned off a 12 story building with an I-beam or run over by a backhoe or blowing out their backs by 34
Define struggling
*laughs in $65k*
I get it. But for real, you’ll see when you get there. You’re at a whole other stage in your life and career when u get to $115. I only topped off at 45k as a Junior and I felt like I had more money that any time in my life, because i had almost no fixed costs. All i had was a student loan, and I lived with roommates. And we went to the bar a lot because I was 26. But guarantee when u break 100, you’ll ditch those roommates, and as you become independent all your expenses fill in.
And if you ever decide to start a family. Another income really helps to live comfortably.
