Interviewed at Deloitte, PwC and EY for Advisory Senior Consultant role. Deloitte offered $105K (plus $5K bonus), PWC offered $127K (plus $15K bonus) and EY offered $155K (plus $10K bonus). Surprised with the difference in pay between Deloitte & EY for same role. Is Deloitte Advisory paying less compared to other firms? 4.5YOE in Consulting.

Bear in mind that many positions receive hundreds of apps. If you are getting ignored or rejected it is solely because the numbers are stacked against you. It has nothing to do with your professional qualifications or value.
Also none of it has anything to do with your value as a person, it’s just a job.
Try to apply to places where you know someone who can vouch for you/flag your resume to HR; you will have a much higher success rate. LinkedIn is a gold mine for this.
It’s a numbers game, just stick with it, stay positive and you will end up where you need to be. The 100 “no’s” you may get matter a lot less than the “yes” you finally accept.
Wow, I actually really needed to hear that. I really appreciate your words, VP1. Definitely going to help as I make my way through the stacks.
Networking and people connections are huge. Reach out and schedule informational interviews with friends, friends of friends, and six degrees of separation. Also, always remember you’re interviewing them as much as they’re interviewing you - make sure you identify your list of non-negotiable and what you’re willing to compromise on. Good luck!
