Outside of benefits, Hotels and flights, about how much do you think your firm is spending on you over your salary (eg. Counseling, team dinners, etc)

Burden rates (benefits, vacation, workers comp, taxes, etc.) are usually in the 35-40% range, though probably a bit higher because we have a pretty good deal, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't the question. OP, you're a consultant, this could almost be a case interview question

like

I think D1 has severely underestimated these costs. Typically weekly team dinner $100/person, quarterly events $300, happy hours sounds on track. Of course forgetting things D2 mentioned like cost of assets benefits etc as well as training and other burden costs.

Don't you expense a typical weekly "team dinner"? It's just the big ones that the firm eats. And I think OPs question was on the value you receive on all those "extras", not your allocation of office rent and printer ink.

Salary+40%

Cost of employment is generally around 180% of ones salary

You figure a team dinner per month ($100/head), quarterly team building events or parties ($150/head), misc happy hours - $100-200/year, doesn't come out to that much. $2-$3k, maybe?

A week at DU probably runs around $5k

Per the pricing model, where it shows our per-hour cost (blended average per level), at A,C, SC, we cost the firm ~100% of our salary. You figure that includes the cost of assets (equipment amortization, leases, etc), SS, benefits, etc... at M, it's about 80%, SM 70%. These are just rough calculations though.

Also, a $300/head event is awesome, I plan several events per year and have never seen a local event with that kind of budget. Only for leadership or if travel/hotel is involved.

I'm talking about value to you, not the loss of value to the firm. So including expensed team dinners.

I say 200%. Given my rate is five times my salary and the project profit margin is 40%.

I don't understand this value to you of a team dinner. It's kind of like flying to Europe in First on miles. Just bc the airline is willing to sell the ticket for $12k doesn't mean that it's worth anything near that to me.

Having an Interview this week, and don't know how high I should set my salary expectations. I currently earn 24k/annum base + comission. Would it be unreasonable to say that I have 30k + comission atm? I think it also hardly depends on the location, I am currently working from Poand but would be working for a swiss company.
Currently have about 7months exp. and thoughts on this?
