PwC Advisory or EY FSO for M level role?
McKinsey & Company Has Mckinsey met BA headcount quota for the year/did they freeze hiring? I interviewed and got to last round last year, and applied again with a referral two months ago but haven’t heard anything from recruiting. Last year I heard back within 1 month of referral drop. I would’ve thought with my 1 more year of experience I should be able to get an interview easily.🥲 McKinsey & Company

2.5 YOE and 140k is sky high for anyone who isn’t a software engineer. Sometimes we are very out of touch with how much we make compared to general pop

C1- Fair, but it’s only 5K so it doesn’t really change the picture as much.
Dude where are you making 140k
Coach
Big 4, surprisingly

30-50% increases with your level of experience are not realistic. Don't think that at 30% increase is realistic in 2 years either.

Yeah I had doubts that anyone from industry will take me seriously with the comp request. Appreciate the confirmation - hoping to make manager next year and have the double early promotion help my case 😅
Probably not unless you live in SF. Then I would throw out a couple of feelers.
I’m in the same boat as you - 2.5 YOE and 160k TC - most recruiters in industry look at my resume and assume im only qualified for senior associate roles which max out at ~$120k. Problem is if you’re on this trajectory now you’ll still have the same problem down the road - too few YOE for your level / comp. Getting ahead early is supposed to be a good thing but this feels like a punishment lol.
Do both - just exited to FANG analytics with higher comp and got accepted to M7 for next year.
How did you do it?
