Take it. It's lower at most other firms for Associate.

I appreciate the clarification, and my comment still holds true 😀

A sign-on bonus is about the only thing you can try to negotiate but don't think OW will budge in this market. Flooded with ex-consultants' CVs at the moment

That’s helpful to know, thank you

Salaries at MBB/T2 firms are fixed - best you can negotiate is sign on bonus and relocation

Thank you, how much would you suggest for a relocation bonus?

53k

107k

I was offered 30K, then negotiated up to 50K AED with one follow up email. But then they didn’t budge. MBA hires the recruiter confirmed its 30K USD.

Thanks that’s helpful to know, thanks, I’m non-MBA. $30k is insane!

You have passed the cases? Are you at offer round?

Only at the very start, had the HR call and thought they might ask for my salary expectations

How much singing bonus should he/she negotiate for? I’m in a similar situation with another company

100k sign on bonus I think is the norm

You can't negotiate the salary (fixed per grade), but you should try to negotiate the grade you come in at.

The big jump is ASC2 (post-MBA) hire, but you should also be able to come in there as an experienced hire if your CV is good enough.

Thank you, that’s really helpful. The role I’m applying for just says Associate, so I will ask for an ASC2 role

I got a call from KPMG HR for the role of Associate consultant in research team, When she asked me about the expected ctc, I think I quoted less than the market standards but since I am underpaid currently so the amount I quoted was 40-45% hike on my fixed. I have experience of 2.9years
Can anybody please suggest if I clear their interviews will they consider increasing CTC from whatever I quoted becase upon searching for ACon roles they pay much higher than what I quoted.

Hi all,

Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both
KPMG and EY. I’m more interested in the EY offer, but they are paying 3k less than KPMG.

Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.

Thanks!

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.
