You should make more at FAANG compared to SM at B4, unless you’re getting in at low levels.

Understood. Thank you for the information!

Senior manager (not at PwC where director is the next level) is 1 step away from partner.

If you don’t have consulting experience SM can be tough because sales can be a heavy component of the job.

You’ll work a lot of hours, but if you grind, sell well, and build your network there is a path to being a partner and earning 1M/year

Hey Sharks,
How much should one expect in a top consultancy firm, back end role (reasearch team) ?
Location: Mumbai
YOE: 7

What do you do when you feel the goalpost has been/is being moved re: billable requirements? Like there's a spoken vs unspoken? I chose this job based on billables vs salary and what I'm being told I'm expected to do now is 20-30% (at least) > than what was initially agreed upon. Given my other life responsibilities, this is creating a huge strain & I feel like this is slowly getting harder & harder on my spouse & kids. I'm grateful to have lots of good work but not sure how to course correct.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
