Is anyone able/allowed to explain how equity works at firms like AlixPartners and Alvarez & Marsal? Is it similar to a pension at Big 4? (Cross posting w/ the Compensation Bowl.)

when’s the best time to negotiate about raising salary? after a year? two?

Hey Sharks, I want to opt out from my LTA & Telephone benefits. When and how can I do it.

Also I have doubts regarding my compensation structure, whom should I connect with, please guide.

While Indian consulting folks supporting the US folks do the bulk of the analysis, churning out the data and making the ppts, all the US folks do is attend meetings. Most of know basics of neither Alteryx, Power BI nor Tableau, while everyone in India is expected to know all the three. Most of the times we are expected to work till their afternoon (our Midnight)

(POV: MC in one of the Big 4)

PS: Also let me know if it's not the case in your BIG 4 company, I will gladly join it 😉

Besides salary is there any additional bonuses, stock options, etc to expect as you advance to SVP and EVP?

I’m interviewing for a Manager role at PayPal in the product management department and wondering how much of a salary I should ask. I am a woman and POC so I don’t want to fall into the trap of asking for/getting paid less than I’m worth. All insights welcome!!

I don't understand the point of hiring candidates. Its been more than two months and i am sitting idle. There is no updates from management. I am getting info like i will get half salary this month because of the bench policy. I m confused what to do next

Has Coforoge provided joining bonus to anyone., if yes how much can we ask?

I left biglaw after 3 years to a mid-size firm. Took a pay cut but the hours, people, culture and work were so much better I never thought twice about the salary or “prestige.” Ultimately I started 2 very small firms. I am not rich by biglaw standards but I have a very comfortable life and put my kids through college with no debt. 35 years after leaving big law, people are still impressed when I say I started there. I feel like I still had the benefits of the connection w/o the suffering.

Hi fishes. I am having 4 years of experience in Rpa UiPath. Coforge is paying me 21 lpa and 1.05 lpa variable and Ey GDS is paying 17 lpa fixed. Which one is better?

I am starting a 4-months internship at a company B in January. However, I just heard from a company T that they will interview me for their full time position.

Company T is paying me way more (twice) than Company B. And I like company T more. However, they want me to start working in February if I get this position. If I end up getting the offer, I will have to quit my internship at Company B, almost immediately after I begin the internship.

Is this okay?

Marketing folks - may I ask how much you are earning based on yoe? I’m trying to make the transition and want to understand better about the salary range.

Does anyone have suggestions for what a salary should be for a Digital Marketing Analyst | Paid Social & Performance Media? I have 1 year of experience, the job asks for 0-1 year of experience. I feel I over meet the qualifications in some areas and just meet them in others. The recruiter said 50k is the salary the company is offer. I know I can negotiate. What are your thoughts on what the salary should be?

What is 6-2 band at NIQ. I’m being offered this band with 1.5yr exp

Genpact offered me 27LPA , however i am still to receive salary breakup. How much variable will be there in 27LPA?

Does anyone think it’s out of the question to ask for a 20% pay increase without a promotion? My duties on our team are closer to Director-level and no other Senior PM is managing half of what I am, so I feel like I should be compensated fairly.

Someone bring me back down to earth if I’m asking too much

What are all of you second and third year ID attorneys making? 🤔

H1B transfer in process for changing employer (going to a competitor)... don’t feel like working at current employer anymore ... oh the wait.... :(

If I move from Risk to PI, do I need to file and H1-b amendment? The work I do is going to be the same. So there should not be any changes as such in my scope as stated in the original H1-b filing

What’s the best practice for giving notice. Is it suggested to wait till the employment verification from employer abroad (from few years back. For e.g India stint) clears if rest of the background check has cleared.

Any insight on Mizuho’s leverage finance group in nyc? The good, the bad and the ugly please and thank you!!

Had my interview on 12th Feb evening. The same day late night I got an email asking to upload the Application form( Completed the same on 13th Feb). Can I understand only HR discussion pending for me? If yes how much time will it take for me to get the HR call.
Thanks in advance.

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.

🎇What’s your biggest win from 2021?

Drop it below, let’s celebrate 🥳

My MD sneaked up on me so quietly just now that I jumped out of my chair when he dropped off comments :/

Any advice on how to deal with a partner that is extremely competitive and talkative? This person is trying to shine so hard that it makes it hard for me to co-lead our projects and meetings.

Still can't get over that ER doc committing suicide during all of this

Hi, I have a collaborative interview(second interview) tomorrow with a tech startup for a product marketing manager position. I haven’t experienced a collaborative interview before and I’m not sure what to expect. How should I prepare?

Anyone working in Pune?@Stefanini

For fish in Europe, BCG Principal or Bain Associate Partner ?

Agency flys me out then decides not to hire me. Told me to keep receipts from the trip. I’ve sent over 3 emails about it. No response. Unsaid rule about not getting hired that you got to pay for it?!?

Have a connection through Salt Lake City on Thursday. How well does the airport perform during snow showers? How much delay should I mentally prepare for?

Is taking the bus to work as convenient as taking the tube? Thinking of getting a place that by bus has a lesser commute than train but worried about traffic, frequency, etc. of the bus. Basically 20 mins bus vs 27 mins tube? Thanks!

At an all inclusive Sheraton in PV. Room service is included? excuse me while I pig out in my room all day while I stare at the beach from my window.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

WTF... all I hear is a girl sobbing across these damn walls.. yo go to sleep and shut up, who cares if he forgot what today was - Sheraton KoP (in case you read this, silent sobbing please)

Ugh! Got 2 hours left in a 14 hour drive with younger sis. Both of us getting on each other's nerves and I hate road trips. Help fbfam! Anything entertaining? 😔

I saw a comment on here from someone referencing a book about organisational Psychology and working with different types of personalities, but I can’t find the comment/thread now. Do any of you have recommendations on this topic?

Do consulting firms ever do mass layoffs right before they pay out bonuses in order to avoid paying them out? Is this a common procedure?

Hi All,

Moving out of IT consulting to Product Management side in the next couple of weeks.

The minute I land in Chicago I start dreaming about Naf Naf. That pita bread is my undoing.

Deloitte folks - trying to make senior manager this year at DD, got more than $5+ for the last couple of years and have excellent relationship with my client for the last 2 years. Contributed enough

I know Mck is the top for strategy, but in terms of digital/design in top consulting firms which do you think is better? Mckinsey digital or deloitte digital? (Or another..?)

Is MBB and management consulting losing its value among young people as employer? Since i noticed majority of young people currently want to work for FAANG, startups, crypto, Unicorns, want to open their own things, etc. I guess in 2000s and 2010s consulting was a top choice for graduates. But what about now? Would love to listen to your thoughts and observations on that one

Female 🐠ers! What type of tights to y'all wear that are indestructible. Bought new ones and it already has a hole!

What does bench life look like for you?
For me a typical day looks like this
9 am- sign in and check emails
930-11 : look for a new job
11-2 lunch and nap
2-3 : sometimes meetings, mostly begging people for billable work
3-4:30 - proposal work if I have it or more job hunting
5-9pm family time and dinner
10-3am - netflix, videogames, cry myself to sleep
