Interviewing with KPMG. Curious to understand what level a Senior Associate aligns to. Also, in general would you switch from Booz Allen to KPMG? I appreciate the work-life balance I currently have.

And at that, Having made a lateral move from another big4 and can attest that “managers” have responsibilities we expect of SC on my previous firm. I got zero WLB, but very good offer $$

Senior associate at kpmg is probably the most misleading level. You can have people that are 2 years from undergrad making $70k or you can have post MBAs that are 2-3 years in making $170k+

Probably 130-210. The reason SA is so misleading is that you can exit into industry at the director or VP role at the top end of the experienced top 15 MBA range, while other fresh SAs would exit into Associate roles in industry.

KPMG tends to pay less than other B4 but more than the boutique/smaller firms. Work balance and corporate culture definitely best of B4 although, as normal, your mileage will vary based on service network and team. In 12 years at KPMG I've had only one "pretty bad" team and one "toxic" team. I have had many great teams.

The guy above is correct on the progression - typically SAs are doing the work in a senior capacity and/or actually leading teams and reporting up into a manager. Your work life will entirely depend on team, project, manager and then director/partner

Does KPMG recognize any other masters degrees other than MBA? For context - if someone had 2 years consulting, 6 industry and a Masters degree relevant to the job posting /group - what’s the salary range

You’d probably be an SA unless you made a good case for m. So anything from 70-145ish. Outliers are possible but that’s the range I usually see

I've really enjoyed my teams and WLB here.

Hello Fishes,

Planning to join OFSS as I will work in product development team and can work in any shift timings with WFH.

Do I need to worry about this and feel low?
Could EY GDS would have been better instead of OFSS?
