Don’t leave yet. It only gets better from here.
I jumped from 75 to 105. I know a friend who pulled off 110 from 75. Better yet, don’t tell them your current pay and just tell what you want. I recommend starting at 115. Be aggressive.
I went from 90 to 130
Way too low. Went from 77K to 150K with 2 years experience.
Linkedin you are talking base right? Also, you have to account for the fact that you’re in SF so 150k is more like making 90-100k in another medium size city. Also, you must’ve interviewed well and also went to a great school. I’m like 90% sure of this. They don’t just hand out those type of offers to anyone that’s in consulting for a couple of yrs
Where are you all getting headhunter contacts?!
How are you getting these head hunter contacts?
I went from 105 to 145. Still shocked a couple years later at the bump, but also felt it reflected the lower pay.
@D1 Former Deloitte S&O. It’s 115K base + 10% bonus + 25K stock yearly.
Yes I interviewed well and went to a great school. Three of my friends also got similar offers from other FAANG type companies. Even startups would pay $130-140K in SF though.
Yes SF is expensive but the perks are way better than other cities so I’d judge it as comparable to $120-130K in a medium size city.
@kpmg1, i do m&a, that’s why headhunters are coming out of the woodworks for me I guess
@EY The 150K represents only cash comp. I don’t value free beer either but I do value no premium healthcare, 50% 401K match, student loan payments. Those 3 benefits alone add ~35K to my comp.
Regardless I do think you should be asking for more. Friends that went to retail corporate strategy in Midwest got 120K.
You should ask for AT LEAST 25% increase in salary
For those of you who got those #s did they ask you how much you were making?
Add 20% to whatever you’re making if someone flat out asks and at least 5% to your bonus.
LinkedIn into what role?
@L1 what role were you in before?
Consulting to Corporate Strategy
Also, what firm did you work for before and what were you doing strategy or tech implementations?
@L1 I guess I’m more thinking base, not all in. I would argue that how far my dollar goes versus yours is a far better perk than free beer at work
I’m in m&a and don’t have head hunters coming out of the woodwork, what am I doing wrong? I want to go from 90k to higher salary more interesting work as described in this thread , if anyone has tips would love to discuss
