SA1

10-20K sounds more reasonable

Lol I got 15 sign on with 3 YOE

Thanks everyone! I got them to bumped it up!

Congrats! Did you also try to negotiate your base too?

How many YOE do you have?

What group are you joining? I'd say 7500-10,000 are doable. Don't think of it as are you worth that much .. think of it as supply and demand

It may be too low. If you were offered $10K, I would have thought it would have been cool.

$5K will be taxed, you know that, right? You’ll not receive a decent portion of it, depending on where you are (your state and local taxes).

I got 5k as an EA

No way pwc is giving you a great offer, because of their cohort model.

MC or TC and what city?

I got 6.5 out of undergrad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yea I got 7.5k out of undergrad from PwC. Also PwC couldn’t pay me even close to what I got offered from other B4. I was about to be SA1 tech consulting (108k) and best they could do was 118k with retention bonus compared to 150k total comp offer

I got 10 right out of undergrad, so that’d be low imo

I just got 70 from a consulting firm

Which?

I got a 10k sign on at deloitte with 1 yoe
