A) make sure you’re in the hunt for the title first, many of the big 4 won’t hire up into level and many down grade (judging your title as consultant,) B) understand the big4, they are machines where a lot of things are set and non-negotiable (PTO, 401k, similar policy things.) C) after that get paid now (recruiters will tell you lots of fluff about years in level or “making it right” at the next evaluation, but once you’re here you’re in the machine. Get the salary and signing bonus you need to make the jump today, tomorrow isn’t guaranteed and you’ll never have the leverage you do right now again

Signing bonus absolutely. Try to come in with extra seniority to be higher on M base

Title and sign on bonus. Don’t buy into future bonus promises

I was recently offered a “promotion” from Senior Director to… a Senior Director with a much bigger team.

I’m basically doing the same role the VP did before me (brand, campaigns, strategy, design, web, content all under me).

I was offered NO pay bump with the additional responsibility and NO title change. My base is 200k… and my highest paid direct makes 180k for doing about 1/2 the work. I get no equity because we’re private.

I work for a very profitable tech company. Is this fair?

My firm has a collections budget (80% of your billable rate x 1850 hours) and an hourly budget that must be met in order to be eligible for a bonus. The firm cares very little about originations and will reward someone for making their collections over someone who brings in new work. I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know. Is this normal??

Deloitte question. I have always gotten a raise each year, the only question I ask is how much of a raise do I get. But I’m hearing from former Deloitte folks, it is naive to expect annual raises each year however small/big they are? And how does this play in Deloitte consulting vs advisory? Do one tend to withhold annual raises in base salary over the other, or is this just a deloitte culture thing? Looking at exit opportunities all over. So lmk! I’d Rather get a small raise than none at all.
