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
Yep I got the same offer, OP. Except I had less than a year of experience
Negotiate for tenure credit. Come in as an A2
Nope everyone makes exactly the same. Only difference is in bonus
This is bullshit OP is lying /trolling lmao
Worth $5k to fly FC all the time!! (Says a fat guy)
Probably also depends if $5k is 2% of your pay of 10%
OP wants to take a 5k pay cut for a lateral move? Don't be foolish #MBBD
Thank you BCG3. This is a troll post, for obvious reasons.
More specifically, it isn't the $5k that is holding me up. I am up for promotion next year and salary could go up significantly at that point andddd accepting the BCG offer would be a career reset of sorts..I would be joining at the level the people who just graduated from college.
Unless you presently have a 2-year path to 150k, you should take it. AND exit opps are great, even at the Associate level
ACN beats MBB in tech ..... Unless they start poaching ACN folks for that hahaha
No one is talking about how OP is unproven at BCG, but had a reputation at D. OP could potentially fail. It's a risk you should factor in.
Was offered 80 from McKinsey last year in a back office role. Picked 110 from D plus signing bonus in the consulting practice.
I took a $15k pay cut to come to BCG. So yeah, id do it for $5k.
I'd take it OP if it's a consulting role at BCG...the culture difference between the firms more than makes up for $5K in all honesty
Why?
If real, probably taking a step backward in title and progression
Please tell me you tried negotiating. I'd be disappointed if you didn't even think of trying.
It can happen, McKinsey offered me 45k under what my then salary was. I still considered it carefully because of the exit opportunities.
Have you even been to Boston?
