Made it to 3rd round of interviews with KPMG 4 Director in Advisory. I told the recruiter I would like my salary to be245k w/25k bonus & he said the salary band is 210-230k. Seems low? Is that correct

Practice-specific. I came in the door as a Director making $235k in MC. Some make $300k depending on location and tenure. The low numbers I see here are very low, but if you’re RC in a low COL city, maybe, I guess.

Director here. $230K plus bonus. Depends quite a bit on practice.

$147K plus bonus is patently wrong.

Glassdoor shows 147K + 15K bonus on average for KPMG director in New York. Is this true?

It matters which practice since there is so much variation in rates and project costs from practice to practice.

Over $200K for director level is high. I’ve known some to be in the high 100s... depends how much experience you have I guess. Bonus is around 10% at the top end.

I recently interviewed at a fast growing pre-IPO company for a Strategic PM role and I was sold that the comp should be around $180-200k plus RSU which should be about $300k annualized TC if all goes well. I have 14 years YOE in tech, but this would be my first intro to PM roles. How much signing bonus is reasonable to ask for if I am giving up on equity and quarterly commission pay to leave my current company?

Additional Posts in Consulting

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
