How many YOE? Are you advisory or consulting?

All good! It doesn’t help Deloitte has an extra level as well so it’s BA > C > SC > M > SM > PPMD. Technically my role is equal to 7-10 YOE but they’re only looking at my 5 core YOE in consulting

Be happy that you rose quick and sit back down or take the steps back that everyone else has done at some point in their career.

BA @ 25 is an extremely reasonable role and quite equivalent to your YOE at that point, assuming you graduated at 21.

7 is pretty normal. How do you know you aren’t getting interview specifically based on YOE…

I’m sure you don’t I didn’t mean that! I just meant perhaps look at your CV, have conversations rather than cold applying etc etc and see if you can unpack the ‘actual’ reasons you might not be getting through to interview :)

I’d try to lateral to Accenture, easier to get tech roles from there

What type of salary are you looking for?
What type of roles are you targeting?

Your salary goal is pretty reasonable. The only thing I could think of is that the roles you are trying to get are competitive and your resume isn’t standing out.

I am in the same boat as you are, now is an M2 (just started) and not even my 6 year mark at the firm. You want DM? Maybe we can help each other out and share tips!

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?
