Hi All,
Need suggestions here. Please help me out. I was interviewed with IBM and got selected. Waiting for offer letter. Meanwhile got selected in another company and got offer too. Put down my ppr. Offer from another company is way beyond than IBM almost 22% more in terms of fixed. Now I’m confused that once IBM releases their offer then should I ask them to match with my holding or not ? Will they consider for negotiations? What’s your thoughts? IBM

Based on just the responses from your fellow Deloitters, I would take the initial paycut to get into a better culture.
Outside of that, salary isn't the entire compensation package. AFAIK BCG has a great health plan and the exit opportunities will be better.
Those aren't all the factors you should consider but maybe people that are more useful than the previous posters can add some additional points
You should take it probably.
1) can negotiate 5k signon
2) better salary progression
3) bigger bonus potential
4) better benefits (eg free healthcare) that might actually make your net higher than before
Yeah because you can make $5K just standing on a street corner yelling "EXCUSE ME HI YEAH I WORK AT BCG. YOU PROBABLY HAVEN'T HEARD OF IT BUT IT'S A PRETTY BIG DEAL."
Because anyone with a functional mammalian brain knows that $5k is nothing in the grand scheme of things. MBB > Big 4 in every single aspect, except average working hours.
Notice that the only helpful comments come from other firms.
OP, I hope you're trolling.
If not, you have poor decision making skills and should stay away from MBB or consulting.
How did you manage to swing that?
BCG1 seconded! I lateraled from ACN and negotiated additional sign on because salary is set at levels.
Then why did you apply and interview?
You'll make up for it in their other benefits. Reputation, health care, etc
D3: why do you think OP is trolling? BCG is more prestigious and may have better long term opportunities. Starting salary isnt everything. Although a pay cut would suck...

Troll post. 5K is nothing to hinge a decision on
Your very first bonus will more than cover the difference.
Negotiating salary is not a thing at BCG.
What level are you leaving Deloitte at? How do I move too?
I said I was expecting promotion, and was forgoing signing bonus, so can I please have extra
What do you mean @BCG3? $5K is a lot of money to some of us.
I have a hard time believing that bcg would make an offer lower than your current salary
OP, at BCG the next step up from A is C... and they make post-MBA salaries. Also grad school sponsorship is amazing
