Whatever you think they will pay you and that makes sense to you financially.

Often lower unless you have truly differentiated talent.

For example, I know a few firms that specialize in mathematical optimization. They pay well but the talent delta to what you would typically find in a big consulting firm is large. Another example is an oil & gas consultant I know. He spends a significant amount of time traveling and training people, but has a few decades of industry experience. Everyone in his firm has a similar profile.

I don’t know if IT strategy would fall in that bucket. I know folks who do it that are great but the people I know are at big firms.
