Received an offer from Deloitte on the government side and need some help negotiating. Is anyone willing to help? What has worked for you all & what should I bring up to the recruiter? Thanks!

Offer:
HC Consultant
88K base
5K bonus

Current:
83K base
~2.5 YOE in consulting at Accenture Federal

I’m trying to negotiate up to 97K base. Should I counter with 100K? I’m fine with the bonus as is but wouldn’t mind a 7K bonus as well.

Someone chime in with real answer but aren’t consultants looking at at least 90k+?

That’s what I thought. This offer is fairly low and isn’t gonna cut it but I’ve never negotiated an offer before so I’m not sure where to start or what to say

Yeah they low-balled u! Get an offer from Booz and make them match

That would be great but not sure I have enough time for that lol

I was making 89k as a first year C, now 106k with the mid-year adjustment. However. I am Commercial but that sounds a bit low for government.

This is a fairly low offer in this job market. In 2019, after 2 years at a no-name consulting firm, I received an offer from EY for 105K + 5k sign on bonus. And that was with 2 YOE.

You could pull off 110-120 in this market. I would counter with that and reject the offer if it comes to it. Be patient and you'll find something better.

Update: they are unwilling to budge. Looks like I’ll have to decline the offer. So upsetting.

Smart move

Wowww that’s really low especially with inflation
