Looking at lateral offers from both Deloitte and KPMG Strategy at the senior consultant level. Deloitte is offering $132K base with a 15% bonus, KPMG offered $126K base with a $20K sign-on and a 10% bonus. I’m leaning Deloitte for the projects, but that KPMG cash up front is tempting. How much weight do you usually give to sign-on vs. long-term earning trajectory?

do you know what offering portfolio they would put you in at Deloitte? it limits the work you can do (but they won’t tell you that). Also, 15% bonus means that’s the absolute max you would get if you get the highest possible performance rating (compared to your peers) and the firm performance is good. I wouldn’t expect more than 5-10% bonus. last thing I’ll say, it is EXTREMELY hard to find projects at the SC level. you have no support and it’s entirely up to you to network for projects, and then you are judged on your utilization (how long you were staffed)

I would go with the cash upfront

I asked for a raise in April 2022 after three years with my company. Positive feedback since day one. Learned I was making less than peers at other asset managers in NYC with less experience (14 years). Latest conversation was with HR about how they calculate salaries. I’ve been asked to provide examples how my role has changed since I started to justify the increase. Is this normal? Or is this just their way of denying my request?

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.
