...~120k, but this seems to be too high for the smaller consulting firms I’ve interviewed with. Any tips on finding better paid positions?

More details on your experiences/skills would help. But 120k is definitely doable. Would start with a higher number honestly

Majority of those 3.5 years has been spent at very large telecoms, doing mainly Business Analyst roles, requirements, stakeholder management, coordinating with IT etc. Currently at the Consultant level, so progressed at a pretty typical pace. Yeah, I’ll always start with a range, but honesty the places I’ve been looking have been off by about 10-20k....all small shops though, may be part of it.
