Thinking about going through interview process at KPMG Management Consulting but worried about salary.
I currently make 80k at a smaller consulting firm.

1.5 YOE
Master's degree
80k base with 4k bonus
Medium COL

KPMG wants me to start out as an experienced associate. Can they match/exceed my current comp? TIA.

Yeah, without a doubt. Ask for high 90’s low 100’s. Will be a stretch to get any higher since you won’t come in as a SA

like

We aren’t strictly on a cohort scale so we have associates making anywhere from 75-120 depending on the city skills and education

I would be shocked if an associate is making under 80k. Go through the interview process and you should be able to discuss comp expectations with the recruiter.

I appreciate the help. Clearly I'm new at this haha.

Ask for 105-110 and let them come down a bit. The more you get upfront the better as you won't get significant increases in salary even later down the line unless you jump. Also assess benefits including 401k match, bonus structure, healthcare costs etc.

Which is why you should definitely say 105-110 as a range...so they go down to their "max". Also those are guidelines and not always set in stone.

I got hired at KPMG as an experienced hire associate with 2.5 YOE in NYC at $90, after interviewing for a SA position coming from industry. My promo to SA a year later brought me to $100k and I bounced.

funny

Left a month after promo to SA for Industry at $160k

I’m starting as an experienced advisory associate in m&a strategy at 165k base 25k sign on. So yea, you can definitely get what you are looking for.

funny

Yes. Experienced associate, senior associate, at the end the day we are all asses anyways

Not in MC, but as an advisory exp associate I came in at 75 with same YOE so I would suspect MC pays more

Thanks!

Ask for 100, settle for 95

They don’t, but they’ll throw money at experienced hires.

Gun for 95-100, don’t take anything less than 90
