I got 15k and everyone's jaw dropped so I'd say yes. 12k = pretty good.

Thanks BAH - not to be disrespectful, but we're curious because our pay scale is going to be 100% standardized and we want to see how much each level (cohorts) pay. Agree with your post though!

When I got promoted from analyst to senior analyst I got less then then a 4K bump (I've had 3 projects that rated me the highest score I could get). So if I had a 12K bump I'd be shitting my pants. So good for you

So OP what cohort are you in and what salary?

Questions are prob directed at OP but I'll chime in if it helps. I went from first year consultant to senior consultant ( at BAH, that's level 1 to level 2 jump). Was in low 50's for salary. I pretty much told my manager that I need to see an increase at year end bc of XYZ and I had the convo twice before managers met for promotion and salary stuff. As for level of work, I'm not a superstar but I produce a great work product and I am enjoyable to work with (from what I hear). I was assertive, firm, but not overly so. It's a balancing act. I was able to leverage my situation bc of a few factors. Find pain points for managers and (metaphorically) put your knee on their necks till you get what you want. But do so respectively and strategically. No tantrums or bitching. Just a be firm.

like

Thanks BAH. Reason everyone is asking is because we're all waiting on cohort numbers for PwC. From what I calculate: if OP got a 14% raise that was $12k, that would mean his base as an EA was $86k, right? So now he's at $98k as either an A3 cohort level or SA1 if he was promoted.

What level were you at?

When OP said first year, I'm thinking like a first year associate, may be wrong.

14% bump from previous base. First year EA in advisory.

Did you go up a cohort?

Happy to provide my story on the other side. Spent two years at Accenture under Technology mostly working on business analysis for implementations and PMO.

Left for Facebook for a role in strategic analytics in BizOps with 180k TC.

Few tips for looking at exits:

1) Referrals are a huge tool for getting your foot in the door. At Facebook it guarantees that atleast your resume is given more than a glance.

2) A well constructed story/resume can offset any weak points in your experience
