Just received a PwC offer for SA3 $110k + $5 signing bonus for Boston, MA doing supply chain (even with 5 relevant YOE). Oh, and coming straight out of a master's degree from MIT.
Anyone else get some salty deals for these salty days?

Only $5 sign bonus?

likefunnysmart

Yes. Know your value and politely decline the trash offer. They are paying others with far less qualifications a lot more.

I started with PwC as an associate @ 61k with 3.5 years of experience and a masters degree.

I got an offer for SA3 at PwC in Chicago at $126k base and $30k signing bonus. Ended up still declining but a data point for what you might be able to get.

Yeah PwC offered me under market for cloud SA3 and tried to feed me a line of crap that Denver is LCOL

That’s the PwC comp for a T2 city for an SA3 (which aligns to 5YOE). Everyone across advisory makes the same at that level. An MBA can change that but usually masters has no effect. I agree that this offer is low for someone with your background, but want to point out that without at least 6YOE as an experienced hire (could make you eligible for Manager level), this was the only offer you were ever going to get.

The sign on bonus however you could probably ask for much higher.

You are getting ripped off - that is all I can say. SA3 on an avg is making $125k without an MBA.

like

I don’t believe $110k is a standard number for any group for an SA3. You sure you don’t mean $112k?

Either way, unless you’re in S& or have an MBA, pay will not be great.

With a master from MIT, I would think you were capable enough to know what the role was paying for before going thru the process.

Also depends on which masters and so on

right, it's actually harder to find the numbers than I would have thought. It wasn't a hard process so not much point in breaking my head trying to reverse-engineer the numbers. Worst case, I got an offer to add pressure to other firms. Best case, I rebuttal the offer and get paid at least market (hoping for $155 base) + ~27% sign-on bonus

Can someone explain what an SA3 is? Assuming it means senior associate, which is comparable to the senior consultant role here at Deloitte? What does the 3 represent?

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
