Former IBM I'm through to the final stage of IBM consulting for a one year work placement in London 25/26 - wanted to know if there is any room for salary negotiation - its the main factor which is causing me to lean towards another offer from Mid size Asset management placement role. A 20k salary in London is unlikely to even cover my costs of living - is this something that's just non-negotiable or what? Seems very low for a leading company in the sector.

The question you have to ask them is “Is this negotiable?”. The answer could be no. Good luck!

I think for entry level positions they do not, when I joined as a grad consultant they didn’t budge. That being said, you can always try! And should!

Is the alternative much higher? I would focus more on which career trajectory each of them puts you, but Im not sure ofc how important the short term monetary aspect is to you

Never know unless you bring it up, inquiring about whether it is negotiable or if they have a salary range. Agree that starting out lower could be the better option in terms of growth, however a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Never know what they say and what actually happens can be different.

Wow, that’s shocking. People were getting more than that in the late 1990s.

Just out of curiosity, have you ever started a new job and thought what the hell am I getting myself into?!?
If it was the wrong fit how long did you grin and bear it? 6 months / 1 year / longer?
Did it get better with time or worse? (For instance just a case of lack of know-how)
If you left did you find securing a new job difficult due to only being there for so little time?
