Don’t ever worry about sounding money hungry in this world, especially when the money hungry folks are the ones who get ahead!! You ask for what you’re worth. 💪🏼 I learned this the hard way. I was a social worker making so little so when I came into this world I accepted the huge salaries in this industry with starry eyes and realized quickly I had to change my attitude because people worse at the same job were getting paid much more.
Thanks, that is one way to think of it! I just didn’t know how it would be perceived by the team.
Is this for consulting? If so I think it’d be tough to get $120k anywhere right out of underground unless you have a super niche skill set. Agree with the above though that it never hurts to ask!
Thanks for the insight and I have a technical skill set but have interned in PE and so it’s very lucrative for the firm I am looking at because of the market spaces they are trying to grow into. So I’m going to go for it, worst that they could say is that’s a bit high, then we can negotiate from there.
If you ask for a higher salary they’ll wonder where all your self confidence is coming from and think you must be valuable.

Unless they're one of the boutiques with very high bill rates, $120k is *likely* out of the question for entry level, but shoot your shot
120 fresh out of under is pretty agreessive, even in a T1. MBB won’t even meet what you’re looking for
That’s a high COLA though - most other places may give an extra 10-15k at most
