@PwC interviewed me for Manager role in workday practice and came back with an offer for Sr. Associate role with a far less base salary than what I am making now. Is it a routine negotiation trick ? Overall 13+ years of experience but new in WD. However WD FIN and PM certified.

Every hiring partner is different. Just let the recruiter know your TC expectations and tell them politely you are not interested in wasting anyone’s time if they cannot come close to that number.

As others said, salary is on a cohort model. It's based on level (SA vs M), education (MBA non MBA), city tier (tiers 1-3), and group (Technical consulting vs management consulting). The only thing you can control on short notice is coming in as SA vs manager. Push back on manager

Bc PwC is on a “cohort” salary model, meaning you and everyone else in hour position are (under)paid the same. I had a friend leave for PwC and I went to EY, nearly identical experience and he’s getting $90k while I’m getting $140k. Get out before you even get in

What’s your current TC? I can tell you if they offer you Senior 2/3, you can maybe negotiate that up to M1, which will clock you in at the mid 140s for a Tier 1 city.

If the SA offer was “far less” base than you make now, I imagine even the manager offer would have been disappointing salary wise
