Have an offer for 200k from KPMG as an advisory director for a very busy practice. Does this seem reasonable?

No signing bonus or variable compensation is mentioned. Is this normal practice these days?

Coming in from being an independent if it makes a difference. Thanks.

Ok I take the above comment back now that you’ve actually posted your Q.

The answer: It depends. What’s the bump? What’s your current variable? Was it not discussed in the interview stages? What’s the B4 benchmark for your level in your geography?

Of course, on the face of it, the offer seems a bit low. But again... depends on the above factors.

Cool. Yes - pls get to the bottom of these Qs. There’s a big diff between sales and managed revenue. Needless to say, the latter could simply mean “highly capable at project/ programme management”, whereas sales would mean new accounts or growing existing ones with net incremental $$$ as your performance KPI. All the best.

What city? What’s the work? What are the sales expectations? What is your current comp? Lots of questions to answer before we can answer yours.

Seems low given the market conditions

Thank you.

Chicago. I was working for myself so no variable etc. I have actually been not working recently due to family. I hear typical Sales expectation, managed revenue 1 to 1.75 range.

Titles have gotten weird lately. director could be a M equivalent where 200k is good. Or it can be where you are close to partner in which case
it’s on the lower end. How many YOE do you have?

I’d try for higher then. To be fair though I am at over 15 years and having a hard time breaking 250

I’m at 175k base as a Strategy Senior, in a HCOL city, so I’d say that’s low. Started this year.

2-250 in Chicago for a director should be a minimum but clarify because there should be a minimum of a 20k signing

Thank you. I did get a signing bonus after negotiation. And some additional time for prior engagements.
