These new Associates need to get more realistic with their salary demands. When I started as an Associate a few years ago, I was barely earning $65k a year. But these new Associates come in expecting six figures. What did you guys earn at the Associate level?

65 K in 2019 , equates to 80-90 K in today’s dollars. If you are looking to buy a house or rent, it is even more extreme- just compared to 2019-20. Inflation has become even worse just this year , based on wars (on top of tariffs)

You are lacking a very basic perspective. Cash always goes down in value, and it has gone significantly in last few years. You may need to get more realistic.

I started with 56 K in 2010. But then the inflation stayed flat until 2019

I’ve tried using paper/thin markers highlighters, tried using procreate, and also illustrator/photoshop & a tablet. I keep running into issues where I feel overwhelmed. How do I simplify this?

Just received a formal offer from Deloitte Consulting as a SC in Strategy & Analytics. Base is $125K, no sign-on bonus. This isn’t much of an increase from what I’m making now. Haven’t reached out to negotiate yet and the recruiter has been pretty quick on the phone so far. I’m coming from a smaller firm, 8 YOE, mainly data analytics and cloud. Any insight or tips how to navigate for increased base?
