Thoughts on this offer?

Received offer for 115k from Big4. No signing bonus. Will come in at consultant

Current salary is 84k at acn. 2.5 yoe (1 at boutique, 1.5 at acn). However, I am up for promotion in 2 months. If so I will be at 94k and it will be a lateral move for an extra 20k in salary...

Former D here. That’s a very good offer for 2.5 yoe. They can’t bump you to SC, that’s 5+ yoe so I wouldn’t even bother asking because you’ll risk seeming unaware. If anything, I’d ask for a signing bonus on account of your Accenture promotion and see if they have any room (doubtful). But really 115k sounds good, congratulations

It’s what you make of it. Truly so, but as an SC, expect to be bombarded with requests. C is a good sweet-spot for responsibilities, opportunities and wlb as long as you are intentional with your expectations and make sure you find a good project. You may be lured by many projects that are not ideal for you so be selective

Edit: i like who I work with now and what I do, but it took a lot of time and work to get to this spot along with some bittersweet moments

SC here with 109k salary at Deloitte! Take the offer, that’s awesome! If you’re already performing at SC level, then you should easily be able to go up for promo next year

Idk why people are telling OP to take the title bump. If you can make SC salary with C responsibilities, don’t ask for more responsibilities

Exactly what I was going to post. Sit back, collect your check, and benefit from being at the top of the salary band.

Just because your title says consultant. That doesn’t stop you from operating “at the next level”

My friend got SC in Deloitte Consulting GPS with 3YOE but he was a SC at another Big 4.

GPS might be more flexible with YOE

You should join at a Senior Consultant - 115k is the salary bracket for SC. Try to push for signing bonus as well. Anything less than that is underselling

I think coming at lower level will be less pressure, more kudos if you are good, better chances for moving up faster and get salary raise.

115k for a C is insane, that’s SC salary. Idk how they have you that much money but not a SC position

Come in as SC with the same salary. Because they'll short you on promotion and pay as you're already in the "highest pay band"
