S& SA1 starting comp moved up to 150. Unbelievable that strategy comp is increasing at this firm

PwC colleagues don't be resentful. If you don't like the fact that S& comp is higher, then switch to S& or move to MBB. Nobody is pointing a gun at your head and forcing you to stay within PwC advisory.

Also unfortunately in this world pedigree is important to sell. If we are going against MBB and they show a team of people that went to top schools, then we need to do the same to remain competitive. And if we want to attract similar type of talent we need to offer similar comp.

I agree that pedigree is not 100% correlated to performance and skills, but combine this factor with a differentiated recruiting process and you'll see another aspect of the compensation differential. Throughout my 6+ years at the firm I've had the fortune to work with a few super starts that came from the PwC side but I also had to work with PwC folks who would've been dinged in their first interview at S&. I've noticed huge variance in the talent pool of PwC, but not as much on the S& side. So in my experience on average the S& talent pool is a bit of a higher caliber that that of PwC. I must say though that I don't perceive this difference at the Partner level.

Finally, the work that we do really is different. Yes, everyone does PMO at some point (even MBB!), but that is more of an exception rather than a rule for S&. Not so much on the PwC side. I've seen projects where PwC folks have been placed on staff augmentation roles for months. If this happened on the S& side it'd be a huge red flag.

At the end of the day, we need each other to capture a bigger chunk of the value chain. I'm not saying that S& is better than PwC at all - we need you and your capabilities, but I don't see a reason why comp should be equal across the board.

Finally, there have been no changes to S& yet so I have no idea what OP is talking about.

S& definitely needs to keep compensation in-line with peer companies. I will be interested to see what happens with MC advanced degree cohort. Currently it isn’t far off from S& salary and overlaps a good bit for the same talent pool.

I heard that internal candidates have much lower salary ranges for promotions / transferring teams. So much so that some people will leave the company a year just to come back to a more competitive offer.

I am in the running for a 2 band level promotion - if / when it gets to salary discussions, should I still try to negotiate? What are peoples thoughts? I would be going from an entry level role for 1 year to a senior role, but I still want a fair compensation compared to other hires.
