Say You got an offer to join PwC at as M at 159k + 30k signing bonus (+ 27% potential max bonus). You’re a 2y SC at D at 145k up for promo next year. That’s only 8% raise. Would You do it?

“Senior Consultant at Deloitte is equivalent to Manager at other big 4s”

-every Deloitte recruiter

Yup, + you would be eligible for up to a 20% bonus (with a 1-2% probability of a top rating as a new hire) 😅

like

No way in hell you are getting anywhere near that max bonus, but title is legit.

I wouldn’t do it just for the money, but makes sense if you think PwC is a better opportunity and or like the people and culture better.

likehelpful

Ever seen that happen in an experienced hire’s first year?

No - presumably you have momentum and relationships at D and I’d expect to more than close that gap at YE, especially if promoted. I think people under estimate the transaction costs of a change on this forum

likesmart

I would. It’d be nice to try and negotiate more salary ($165k) but I think it’s still a good offer assuming non-mba

like

Let me break it down for you: Deloitte is probably giving us a crappy bonus AGAIN.

You’re getting 44k more pay if you accept that offer, plus the title. Deloitte is probably going to give you a 4K bonus and 3k raise this year MAYBE. That’s a 37k difference at best case scenario

likesmart

If bonus is from one of the LOS (tax,asr , adv) and not S&, number is inflated. Source: SM Tier 1 yoy. I too was lied to by HR.

Next year? Nah leave now

IMO the pay increase is marginal, if it was a 20%+ bump it’s a no brainer since it’s ultimately unlikely you’ll get that this year.

You have to consider the value of your relationships especially if you are going for the long haul to PPMD. It will be a little harder when you have to rebuild support from the ground up again.

That said you can always boomerang back in a year or so

Hello Fishes,

I have 2 offers in hand currently -
1. CGI - 25LPA +1L JB
2. Neev systems - 23LPA (5%VP)

Neev systems is ready to negotiate it with CGI. And both companies have their own benefits.

Neev's hike is good compared to CGI(almost double) & CGI have some additional perks like cab facility, Creche allowance, mobile, internet bills reimbursements and additional 5% shares.

Both might have similar WLB (12-9pm).

My DOJ is tomorrow, unable to decide between them. Pls help me!!
