Hi folks, I recently applied for a new role in EMEA for a Specialist Solutions Architect. Got through n received an offer letter. But seems like the base is a bit lower than what i saw online in a couple of places (not sure of years of experience there though). Is it worth it to bring it up and ask the HM to raise an exception? How much time will this take? Is it a risk? Already the entire process has dragged on cause of delays on recruitment's part etc. Any advice or insight would be helpful!

Hi.. I have cleared all 3 rounds of intrvw at ey gds.. got confirmatory call from hr as well. During the salary negotiations, hr qouted "x" amount, while my expectations were "x+y", i asked the hr to see if it can be increased, hr came back with "x-y" offer qouting that business group has approved this much only. What kind of joke is this!

I have 9 yrs of experience in financial advisory, what is the salary range for managers at ey gds?

Ok, maybe this has been done before, but I want to get a real life sense of the difference between EPLI and Private L&E (management side) practices. Let's do a poll:

1.) Primary source of business: EPLI or Private Companies?

2.) Number of matters you are currently working on

3.) Average billable rate (your year)

4.) Normal working hours/wk

5.) Percentages: Litigation vs Counseling

6.) Type of firm: ID, Big 4, Boutique, BigLaw, etc.

I'll kick things off in comments.

I feel like needing more responsibilities and having a valuable job.

Considering switching from consulting to sales engineering/presales.

Getting clients engaged during the sales process, doing demos, and helping get them ramped up via workshops is the highlight of my work for me.

Curious about which level to aim for given that I'm coming in with 15+ YoE.

Also curious about switching away from the technology stack that I've mostly built my expertise around (EPM/CPM) to more broader analytics / SaaS toolsets... How hard is that transition?
