I’m a Senior Manager at Deloitte. Any thoughts about what level to enter at Protiviti? And, I hear the pay is lower but the WLB is better. Is it really? At Deloitte I go from 40-50 hours a week to death projects of 90 plus. Pay is a LOT but as I grow up I’m looking to actually live a bit instead of working the years away…Protiviti

Protiviti is a non-big 4 so you can easily ask for a Level which is equivalent to Director at Deloitte, and they will accept it. But know this, sales there will be quite difficult as companies like these have lower cost due to not having a very good centralised knowledge and client referenceable database (unlike Deloitte).

I joined Protiviti from Deloitte 2 years ago - there have been handful of weeks where I had to work more than 40 hours. At D, I was averaging 50-60 hours easily. The wlb is significantly better.

If you’ve been an SM for a few years I would say ask to come in as a director. Just know you will have sales expectations and you’ll need to hit the ground running. If that sounds stressful, come in at associate director to give you time to land as sales expectations are lower / it’s easier to get staffed as an AD.

90+ hrs? I have trouble believing folks when they claim this. Even ibankers and mbb folks spend some of that time twiddling their thumbs or doing personal things when they’re online.

Just do the math and it doesn’t pan out.

Let’s say you’re doing 95 hrs. That’s 13.5 hrs over the course of 7 days. 168 hrs - 95 = 73 hrs left


Sleep 7 hrs x 7 = 49 hrs
Eating breakfast lunch dinner 1.5 hrs = 10.5 hrs
Shower/getting dressed 30 min - 1 hr = 7 hrs
Laundry/picking up dry cleaning - 1 hr a week
Grocery shopping - 1 hr a week
=68.5
73-68.5 = 4.5 hrs left over in the week

Gym
Doctor appts
Planning vacations
Buying anything online or in person.
Transit time for personal or work related

If you have kids, there’s quite a bit of time that they need as well.

Hi Everyone!

A company has made an offer and I wanted to understand if i'm being made a fool.

The monthly compensation is 1,37,500 (16,50,000 yearly) and Variable component (Bonus) is 1,50,000.

However in the offer it says "You shall be paid an annual compensation of Rs. 16,50,000/- per annum Cost to Company."

Which to me sounds like it doesn't consider 1,50,000 to be a part of CTC which is suspicious to me.

How should I deal with this?

Thank you!

Or should I move into the JS-React path since there seems to be a lot of demand? But my worry is about my lack of actual work experience
