Joined D a year ago, as an SC in strategy. I had 7 years of industry and an MBA...offered 130k no signing bonus. Did I screw myself? Have seen other service line exp hire SCs make way more. Advice?

Where’s your MBA from? Is it from a M7/Deloitte target school?

Did you ask for a sign on or did you try negotiating the base? What did the recruiter say? Don’t move if the bump is not significant (at least 25%)

I asked for both...no budging on either

130 is fair. Should have got a sign on though. I got 15k at ey with a little more on the base

15K sign on..What level were you hired at? Did you have to ask for bonus or did they already offer it?

Are you in a tier 2 city? Or maybe it’s just the “prestige” of strategy? ... As an SC making 115 with 9 yrs exp and mba I feel underpaid a lot too.

Hello. Would anyone mind sharing a solid resource or approach to compensation alignment strategy? Currently our staff have a conversation around their comp. on their anniversary- 300 employees. Performance review conversations take place twice a year and not connected to the comp conversation. I am looking for a way to ensure the comp. conversations feel less laborious and tedious. Thanks in advance!
