I'm 2 years in from undergrad, promoted to senior, 95K. I'd say get another offer and see if Deloitte wants to match or beat it else sail away to a new firm. Technology resources are valuable, you have leverage. (Assuming cyber is tech?)

Fuck everyone hating on you OP. 80k is low- everyone knows this. Interview at ACN or PWC- get offer around 95/98k and bring it back to ACN. Regardless of their "decision" it'll be a win/win for you. Good luck!

Consider how blessed you are to be in a position to complain about an 80k salary.

@D3 according to some claims on FB, we hire kids straight out of undergrad at 80-85k. The PPD who informed me of my comp, even recognized that it's on the low end of the band. Advisory SC isn't a direct lateral correlation to Consulting C, and to answer your question about why I deserve more, would take more time and energy than we've both got :-) I'm not your average bear asking for something, for nothing.

First - Don't be condescending, 80k isn't peanuts, it's more than most families have at an older age

And your issue is? Advisory SC is Consulting C and 80k is in the high band for first year C. Why do you deserve more on 2 years experience?

@op, that seems low.. I'm aware that IBM isn't known for its high pay, but even band 7s (equivalent to your C - senior consultant of 2 plus years) are between 85 and 90k depending on city and eval scores. I'm at 88k personally and thought the competition would match if not add to that at big 4/MBB

like

Meh, OP has a right to fee underpaid (they are lol). I'm not about to shame someone for not getting paid what they feel they deserve. If you want more, go get it. Consulting is grueling enough that I can empathize.

As a top performer, I made $71k in Advisory when I was promoted to SC 3 years ago, so don't feel bad. My manager promotion came with a 33% pay increase. Just keep grinding.

Tons of tangents here, that have nothing to do with the original post. I agree, I know lots of people who are genius scientists, researchers, and educators, who will probably never make 80k. Also, I am SUPER thankful for what I have. None of this changes the simple fact that 80k is low, it's not customary to what we pay people. I had no intention of this going much deeper, or having any secondary tone. The "kill me" in the original post was just supposed to be light-hearted, not taking ourselves too seriously, thought maybe we could all have a good chuckle on a Tuesday. Thanks for all your input, mates. Cheers!

Thought, on average, Analyst to C was 1-2 yrs in Consulting and C to SC was 2-3 yrs in Advisory. Not sure there's a direct comparison

like

Deloitte OP, you might be the smartest person on this planet. But people who make 80K are not necessarily average or mediocre and people who make 6 figure or more salaries are not necessarily the brightest. Once you get older (and possibly more mature), you would realize this. Sorry if I sounded harsh but seriously your post and the comment about "not your average bear.." is a bit condescending!

Hello UST folks,

I need to let it out but I’m so fucking proud of myself and I just realized how lucky I got and it took me until just now to see it. I started in the military and it only took 2 months for me to get out and fall into a bottomless hole of depression. My transition went from: $13 an hour part time, separation with the wife, new job at $18 an hour for physical labor, hit with disability diagnosis, then $20 an hour new office job, reconnecting with wife, having 2nd kid, nearly divorcing (cont.)

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
