Probably. I have 8 years industry WE + 4 years at BCG + M7 MBA. Get 2-3 headhunter reachouts each week. Median/mode on comp is $225-275k total. Mostly Sr. Mgr and Director roles

If you’re currently a Manager, I’d expect closer to $200K for Chicago. Bay Area or NY you could probably get closer to $250K

I see. Chicago would be cheaper and your wife would be even happier. That's got to worth something, so add that and am sure 250k would come easy :)

Depends how long you’ve been out of the game. Also depends on which area of consulting .

What industry is your target

Suppose you are 3 months pregnant and interviewing for a job. Would you disclose to the recruiter that you are expecting or is there no need to give that information until after being hired? As for the compensation, if you’ve already been told pre-interview, the salary range for the role, is it appropriate to negotiate a number for the salary if you are asked your desired salary in the first screening interview? Or should you try to hold off on the negotiation after you receive an offer?

I wanted to spread a little positivity this Friday afternoon.

So don’t settle, and don’t give up! ✨
