Salary may be Big4, total comp definitely tech

It's this. When you're in big tech you get stock options, better wlb (even at director level), and a nice salary.

Consulting would only win by salary base.

I want to say that they are comparable at the senior leadership levels in big tech and partners at big 4, but at the SM/D level big tech is definitely higher

By salary i meant total comp. From What i have seen big tech def offers more total comp. I just didn't know of that's also the case with leadership roles ( partner, L7+ roles etc). Was hoping to see if anyone can confirm

@OP can you share total compensation, role and level?

Hello, after doing some research I believe I’m being underpaid. About 4 months ago HR did a market analysis for my role. They bumped my salary for about $2k. I’m a mid-level Executive assistant with 6 years of experience and currently supporting 5 executives at a fortune 50 company. One C level and 4 Vice Presidents. I’m currently making $61,000 with bonus included. Based on my research I should at least be making $71,400. I have a check in with my boss tomorrow and I am asking for a raise.
