Yeah do it, worst that happens is that they say no. Any offers you can use for leverage?

In consulting…a bit over 1. But I’m prior military, where I served 8+ years

120k for SC at a B4 seems very low in this market. Deloitte has been hiring SCs at 175k this year in Strategy &Analytics and M&A.

I would even be more ambitious and aim 140-150k Salary and have them counter it.

OP I do a lot of utilities work at pwc. What practice is this at EY?

It’s their EAM practice, part of tech consulting.

You can’t fetch more than that if you don’t have unique qualities, aka, MBA, professional certifications. You have to show why you’re worth more. Market is only 1 factor. Worst case negotiate for a sign on bonus.

If you have an MBA, ask for at least $160K. If no MBA, ask for $140K. Did you mention a desired salary earlier in the process?

Does EY filter out candidates based on where their MBA is from? I’m Top 20 but not M7.

Nice bowl to avoid lowering the average in the US-centric threads. Anybody else finding that with the lack of pay rises this year, it’s become even harder to benchmark?
