Now that i am M, i hear “stay until director, exits will be soo much better”

likefunny

Well, just my opinion, but M is probably the most KICKASS level in the firm, you play quarterback. Really helps develop accountability, which will be critical as you consider lateral moves into the industry where line management and PnL responsibilities come in. But I've stayed till SM, so what do i know :)

In many cases, as consultants we apply for jobs that require more experience than we have - thinking that our consulting experience makes the difference. Not all employees agree.

Is this really true? Is it worth to wait until manager before leaving? Thinking of leaving as a senior

Anything at a staff level is easier to hire. Sheer numbers state there are fewer at higher levels and people don’t leave as much at higher levels creating inherently more demand at staff levels

Seriously

I have a 1 st round of interviews with a Deloitte HR. However, I believe the offer for a senior analyst role is not where it should be. It is a 3 yr contract with their GPS in crisis management. Could someone message me to give me some insight on what the role typically calls for and what kind of salary expectation I should consider countering?

I've just recently been hired as an assistant manager at a Canadian outlet store. It's a small company in comparison to others, but there are over 10 locations spanning western Canada and NW united states. I'm curious as to what others in a similar position are getting as salary. I was offered $42k plus bonuses at the interview, but when called back I was offered $44.5k plus bonuses. I already accepted. Did I leave money on the table here?

Dinged from HSW and Booth. Interview that went well and I received good feedback from at kellogg, but we all know the Kellogg interview doesn't get you as close to the finish line as interviews at other schools.

I'm working on my consortium app now where I have a strong and compelling case for their mission statement. All other things being equal, how much easier is it to get into T10-15 vs HSW/M7? 30% - 50% easier relative to HSW/M7?
