Spoke to a recruiter at EY prior to interviewing about comp. Agreed on 120k base for an SA position and now 2 weeks later they come back with mentioning they need to get PM approval as well as asking if I am firm on comp. Does this even make sense?
I have 4 YOE within cyber and they mentioned after initially discussing that my experience may not be enough for 120k…

Yeah man. Hold firm.. EY isn’t that great that you should take less than you’re looking for.

Never believe a recruiter this is the cap and need to come back. It's a negotiating tactic.

You should have given a range. But regardless it depends on your city

I originally did give a range of 125-140 and she immediately said that 120 was max base comp and was willing to work a 7k bonus because I held a secret

Yea you are firm on the comp. it’s just mind games. You are firm on both base and signing

I had a similar situation at ACN a couple of weeks ago. We agreed to an amount and went through interviews and got positive feedback but because I was only gone for 16 months vs 18 months they wanted me to come back at old salary even though I got multiple certifications while I was gone and am working in a different technology now.

Yea I had someone refer me but still a dead end…may try again down the road

We don’t have SA in EY ? Do you mean SC ? If SC , what level SC1 , 2 or 3. ? Also location matters . I came as SC3 for 150k 2 years ago

If it makes a difference, been close to 2 years at D. Total YOE surrounding consulting is close to 4 years.

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?
