I think the important question is - how much do you currently make? If you’re making 80, that’s a great offer even without the joining bonus. If you’re making 110 on the other hand, it’s terrible. Deloitte and BCG (I know it’s Platinion) would be tremendous on your resume, considering you are so young.

Doesn't sound great to me

115 is great for 3 years out of school. For bcg it seems a bit weak

EY would offer more. It’s a weak offer unless you’re getting the BCG retirement benefits

Vacation - elective day off to recharge

Can probably negotiate signing bonus. On the consulting side, vacay and salaries are system wide and set. Platinion is on a diff pay scale to consulting team.

Not a great offer. Also, can you negotiate anything? You can negotiate *everything* if you're not desperate to get in.

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
