Manager 3 in business consulting. 200k base salary.

Seeing the other posts makes me think Im quite underpaid. Been at EY for almost 8 years now and 1 year elsewhere before that. I feel like the loyalty (for staying at EY) is hindering my raises.

Thoughts?

M3 (non strategy and non MBA) @ 200k in HCOL is actually over paid, especially before we hit current market where firms are paying premiums to poach talent. As a data point, the PwC M3 salary in HCOL is ~160.

This post is the epitome of fb.

OP is overpaid by all accounts.

OP is convinced they are “quite underpaid” based upon looking at other posts, which may or may not be true.

As toxic as many firms may be, fb is FAR more toxic.

My team is hiring fresh MBAs for 170 base …. So not surprising

Right or wrong, the consulting market values the MBA at that rate and clients are willing to pay those rates for it. As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, you’re overpaid currently to your peers (non-MBA/non-strategy). Clearly you have something to be thankful for in that aspect.

I had cleared all the rounds in S&P and had salary discussion 1.5 month back. The HR is always saying the management is on leave and will soon get the approval and release offer. Today she shas asked for one more week to release the offer. Should I wait for it or move on. Are they waiting for some other candidate to join before rejecting me at last moment. Only 10 days of my LWD are left.

I was given offer by Mastercard in month of Dec The hike was less but looking at brand & other perks I accepted the offer & was looking forward to joining them.I got few offers & I went back to them for sole purpose of renegotiating CTC, to have a industry standard hike. They didn't reverted back for 2-3 days & just dropped a mail that they are revoking initial offer as well on grounds that they didn't like i gave other interview

Due to obvious conditions my comp for the calendar year (salary+bonus) is back to 2017 levels although my overall sales are more than double and 1/3 less total comp than last year. It seems like comp opportunity is always decreasing during good times (I get it) but when it comes to adjusting during bad times, nothing was done. Is this normal for industry sales?

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
