I've got a final round interview coming up for an SA role at PwC in the advisory group. Initially when I talked to the recruiter they told me the salary would be around 125k. I'm getting my mba part-time from a top 15 bschool (may '23 grad) & could probably get an offer of 170k from a different firm. What are the chances I can negotiate up to 140k for the PwC role, with the hopes for a salary increase post graduation? I would hate to accept 125k & leave money on the table that I could've had.

SA has a pay range in a T1 city of $126-$153k for nonMBA. Presumably you could negotiate within this range. Get that $170k offer when you’re qualified but in the meantime get what you can.

How so? I literally got these numbers off of the fishbowl salary sheet. Unless it’s no longer being updated by trustworthy people I don’t see how it’s wrong.

Depending on your YOE/cohort, $140-145k is our upper bound for SA at a T1 city

Fair point, I figured since I’m halfway done I could meet halfway.

Total shit offer.. look at cloud consulting partner firms

Will be lot harder to negotiate at PwC due to cohort model. So has to be within the COL and level. So is it SA1 SA2 LCOL/MCOL/HCOL then a/b/c. Where as other firms have lot more flexibility as long as it’s in the range and most other firms levels overlap.

Yeah not sure on the MBA piece. Usually it would be for a certain group and FT program. May be worth holding out till degree then making more or have that as part of story.
