We’re on a cohort system. If you are coming in with a year of applicable consulting experience you’ll probably be placed a SA2 which is a 173k base

like

Correction. Base is $171k. Source:I am an SA2.
Signing bonus was $25k for 2018 SA start post-target MBA

like

Thanks for the perspective everyone! What was the signing bonus? 25? 30?

30K for incoming this year from MBA

like

And base for SA1, SA2, and SA3 are set, so you can just negotiate on which level you should get

But also be careful at going too high. You don’t want to start as an SA3 and then be put in an up or out situation.

The reason the posters above are so focused on what school you graduated from is that the MBA has different value if its from one of our “target schools” or not. You may be worth less and command a lower level/salary if your MBA is not a target program.
I realize how annoying and unfair this sounds, but just giving you the facts!

Your MBA is just one part of your application, but an MBA isn’t even required (though in most cases it helps).

If you got an interview then at this point it shouldn’t matter.

Remember you brought up your MBA and described it as “top 10”. You shouldn’t be surprised or become defensive when someone (from EY) asked for more detail.

Do you think women in the industry are paid lesser as compared to men.
Out of personal experience ,I can see that during compensation discussion HR person tries to convince a women candidate for a lesser package . Now this could also be the case where it is much easier to convince women to take up the job for lesser salary.
Whereas the male team member gets paid high (same YOE , same number of switch , similar prev CTC) though women are equally or more talented sometimes.

Hello people, how common is a Amazon to PWC move ?
I’m interviewing for a Senior Associate role and TC seems to be more competitive than role in L5.

TC $114k- Base AMZ- $73k +$38kstocks ( vesting 17k$ due next year)

TC $135k Base PWC -$81$ + Bonuses ( 50k$)

Looking for managerial skills which the PWC role avails, and L6 promo doesn’t seem to be happening soon in current role. I’m also mentally stretched. I hear WLB in PWC is just as busy but can anyone confirm if this move makes any sense. Google Amazon

SVP vs VP in banking.

I'm currently looking at two HRBP roles at two different titles/salary bands. This would at a large banking company located in NYC. Can anyone with banking industry experience share their perspectives and insights on the differentiation between the roles? I take it that VP is more of a junior role and a more commonly-used title. I have a friend that's a VP at JPM and has about the same YOE as me (shes not in HR). I have about 15 YOE but about 10 yrs HR YOE and 3 HRBP YOE.

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.

My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot.

Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.
