Potentially new to the consulting world. I currently have a steady job with $84k salary but recently received an offer for a data consulting job at Guidehouse for $135k salary in the defense industry.

Looking to see if anyone has experience/recommendations working with them in a similar type of role.

I personally would avoid GH if all possible (I’m desperately trying to leave), but if it’s a sold and funded multi-year contract (or a contract with multiple option years), then it could be worth such a big salary jump

Bain Capital. Slashing benefits, constant reorganizations making it impossible to seek promotions, hyper emphasis on utilization with zero tolerance, got rid of floating holidays. Not a place to build a career anymore

Currently work there but switching because I was underpaid. Honestly very team and segment dependent, the energy segment (where I work) is really very good and respected. Not sure about D&S. But hard to not take such a nice raise.

I'm leaving and I'm no fan of GH overall, but it's not as bad as some make it seem to be honestly. Just a typical mid-level consulting firm. I would say, confirm your future prospects, see if they have a long term role for you and then accept.

Anyone know of their usual expected utilization rate?

Depends on your level. Senior Consultant is 91%

Please, protect your peace and do not go to GH. All the best

Hi everyone,

I just graduated from my bachelors and I have received an offer for 3k per month (incl bonus) from Accenture in tech consulting (level 11), which was my top choice. However, I am not very satisfied with the pay so I wanted to ask:
1. I might also get offers from PwC or Deloitte, are they likely to pay more?
2. Is that enough to live a comfortable life in Amsterdam Zuid?
