McKinsey & Company I received an offer from McKinsey & Company in 2021 and I’ll be starting later this year after graduation. Obviously because of the pandemic, inflation is slowly trending upwards. Has anyone asked for a base salary increase before even starting the job? Any advice on how to approach this?

If you are career oriented a good manager is the best asset you can have. If my manager left and asked me to move with them I'd do it.
I believe this too

I agree with PWC 1. Also treat this like any other interview. Research the company, the culture, and the market for that role including pay and career trajectory. Find out if the company is stable. It's not always obvious. Find out if there is high turnover or not. Is the issue the company or the type of work. Determine if its a career you'd like to have long term or just a stepping stone to something else. And whether you can achieve it where you are. Do not go in because your old manager wants you there to grind with him alone. Good luck!
Thank you!

I went from EY to RSM in search of better work-life balance and it was a mistake was worked harder with less resources and less prestige. I quit after 1.6 years at RSM.
wtf is that comment
I don’t know man. I’m 30 years will you thinking about the extra money you made or the memories from what you did during your time away from work.
Is that your long term goal? Leave consulting? Why would this change facilitate that? You’re feeling stuck? How? Why? You have an outside life that makes you happy? What role do you want work to play in your life? Is it a means to earn money so you can enjoy life, have a family, do the things you want, or are you looking for something else? Prestige? Approval of other’s? Sense of purpose? And is work the best avenue to achieve those other things?
I think when we enter the workforce we have this work hard upward projection mindset that is totally work focused. At some point people often hit a crisis where they realize work is not the answer to having a meaningful life, they don’t really want to be a CEO or even in the C suite. They want to do a good job, earn a good living and enjoy life. However, they feel that outside pressure from their old self ( and often others) to define life success by their job title, job progression, ambition . Do some reflection and ask yourself what you really want. And did you interview because the job interests you or the flattery of your old boss wanting you? If it wasn’t him calling, would you have been interested? Because good chance he will be there less time than you. Or, it this a job you really want, it you never thought you would have the opportunity to get.
This decision is totally about you and where you are in life. And know that you are up for you. Do not let doubt in yourself influence your decision.
If the T2 is A&M then Id say theyre right. Your utilization will be significantly higher but your VC will make up for the difference.
Thanks for your comment C1, these are really good questions. I think the feeling of being stuck is I don’t particularly align with the people I work with as much as I did this manager who left, so I’ve been wondering where I stand. Even before my manager left, I was asking myself if I fit here long term (the team, the firm, and consulting).
I do value making an impact and finding a role that aligns with that, but I also recognize that I have bills to pay and consulting allows me to pay them. I’m not chasing prestige or other’s approvals anymore.
The job on my managers team does interest me, and is a good combination of my skillset. I would be interested if he didn’t call as I think a change could be good. But long term I don’t think being in this industry is for me.
I do see this role as potentially being strategic and can open up possibilities, allow me to save more money, and possibly explore other functions (it will be different than what I do now).
I don’t think my decision is coming from fear and I guess if I’m more aligned to what’s important to me (health, family, sleep, nutrition) - I could still prioritize those?
