Probably not much - they tend to stick with their numbers with the college hires. If he’s done his research he could back with “I was hoping to be closer $X which is market salary for a recent graduate in Y field.”

He needs to explain why the value he's providing justifies an increase. I tried unsuccessfully to negotiate an increase when I came in as a SC, but talked my way into a modest signing bonus. Results vary across groups/levels/rtc

Maybe not the most useful info but if he has any data science experience, wouldn’t hurt to emphasize it. That’s one of those core areas that the firm needs more of and I’ve seen new hires use data science experience to make a good case for it

He wants more money...what is he offering in exchange? Is he going to show up for work or provide more effort, because those are already expected. What can he offer that the company hasn’t already factored into the job?

If he doesn’t have something else to offer then he isn’t negotiating, he is begging and belittling his value by not knowing the difference.

You're too expensive for your LCAT is the standard line for everything. I know for a fact that I am atleast 30% below market.

Depends on what leverage your brother has. Competing offers for example could be one?

He doesn’t. He has another interview with a firm which he will def land him a offer but Booz is asking for a decision before he gets that offer. Trying to see what he could leverage as a recent undergrad.

He can’t. If he gets too expensive for his LCAT, he will have to be taken off the project after a certain period anyways and it doesn’t sound like he is bringing any additional value to the firm

Am I understanding utilization rate correctly? It’s chargeable time over total time? Charged 40 hours and had 10 hours non-charge so my utilization is 80%? If so, wouldn’t it benefit me to understate non-charge hours so my utilization is higher since they only really care about chargeable time anyways? Charge 40 hours still but only put 5 hours non-charge for utilization to be 89% instead of 80%? Or am I misunderstanding how utilization works?
