Age does not matter here. What's your level, and practice area

I was offered 95k as an SC in 2010. I was 30 FWIW. Seems low to me, but the market is different now.

Agreed with above
If you’re an SC at Deloitte GPS, sounds about right

If you're ambitious and good at your job you can be making more if you leave, if that's what you're asking.

As BCG1 stated, level and practice area should be your benchmarks. Having said that, it is worth noting that given DC COL, 95K before taxes is very low. You will be pinching pennies in DC with that salary.

Seems about right. If you’re not happy, aim for a solid year end or go for promo dude

I am confused ... do Deloitte SCs get paid less now? When I was at Deloitte, the commercial S&O SCs made $150K base.

Also the government is never going to pay commercial rates

SC with 95 sounds reasonable

Depends on your goals but the wage sounds about right

I second Deloitte 1. If you do leave to get a salary bump make sure you negotiate well and don’t sell yourself short.

That’s about where I’m at - 34, but only been doing this couple years

A question from a youngster. Is working at a big big company with slightly low pay better or working at a much smaller company with higher pay better?

In the future, after a few years, let’s say I’m at a small company and want to switch to big big company, will the “small names” hurt my chance to get into the big doors?

I mean big big company is like 10x bigger than the small one if this was a factor. Assume everything else the same, WLB, commute, teams, etc.

Any advice would be appreciated!
