McKinsey fishes! Just got offered an Expert role at McKinsey but the salary is pretty low for someone coming from industry with 10 yrs experience. I asked if the salary can be negotiable and they asked me to send “proof”of my current salary which I did. How realistic is it that they’ll respond to my counter with a higher salary offer?

Kinda weird they asked for your current salary, no?

Doubt they would outright ask for current comp or proof? For me it was more along the lines of ‘Help us help you’ , completely voluntary on what I wished to share, no pressure, no impact in hiring decisions either way..

If you filled the voluntary disclosure they will definitely try to meet you.. for me they couldn’t bump up base any higher, but definitely comped it with $55K sign on bonus to make up for the RSUs I was walking away from etc.

Thank you!

What is the offer?

What level are they bringing you in at? What’s the offer?

Expert
