Ask for 150k

I just started 2 months ago as a senior consultant. Had 7 YOE at several government agencies, secret clearance, PMP (no MBA program though). Asked for $120k and got it.

Honestly I think that’s what it came down to. I had a specialized skill + a clearance and I was approached by a recruiter for a specific project. Although I was on the market, I didn’t apply to work there on my own. I was ready to walk away from the deal which gave me some leverage.

120 is prob max you can get. Our project rate likely won’t support higher.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

I have received an offer in TCS accepted it and submitted the documents for BGC . The CTC i mentioned is 13L in iBegin portal and uploaded the same recent hike letter. But my current company held my offer of 13L and salary/payslip is with old offer and i have submitted documents with new offer letter which is 13L.

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.
