So I’m in the last steps of the process for a Transformation Design & Execution Senior Consultant position at EY. Finished my super day on Sep 10 and spoke with the recruiter today: I was informed that the team liked me and I will be moving forward, but no confirmation for an official offer. Apparently they’re waiting for the thumbs up from leadership. It all seems a bit nebulous and I feel like I’m being stringed along. Can anyone in this practice offer any help or insight? EY

I’m also curious about the comp for the role in NY. Would appreciate any help on how to negotiate a potential offer!

For accounting based consulting roles I've seen senior consultants range anywhere from 100-140 base

Can I ask what your background was before accepting this position?

I had some audit experience at Deloitte, then a year as a tech consultant at RSM and currently a year as a management consultant at RSM. Been pretty much PMO focused.

Got an offer to work at a boutique PE fund as an intern for the next few months. The role is however unpaid and the fund is new.

For some background, I’m going to be starting at a T-2 firm doing CDD for PE funds in January. Wondering if getting this kind of experience looks good when I apply to analyst roles 1-2 years out? Don’t want to work without getting paid unless the experience is valuable. Would love any perspective on this.

I recently joined a company of 400 people as the only Talent Acquisition Specialist. I feel like the role I'm doing is so much more than a Specialist level. I feel I'm being underpaid and my title doesn't actually align with what I'm doing. I feel like a Manager. I'm trying to recruit on 15+ different positions while trying to manage so many other ongoing projects and requests. How do I bring this up without sounding like I'm complaining? Is it worth saying something?
