1 year of experience is tough, but a few things to point out are what you’re willing to leave consulting for, such as 20% bump to justify the move. Also, do research as to what the position is worth and say “I’m speaking with multiple companies and the comp range is x to y” if u have a special skill set and certifications, you can state that they demand a certain. Amount in comp.

If you are moving industries there prob won’t be too much negotiations... you will virtually be starting as fresh meat. Make sure you compare benefits including travel per diem, health care costs, vacation, etc. You may be able to wiggle some numbers but doing that, but I suspect that if you are switching industries it’s not for the money so be careful not to scare the new firm solely for money ...

Is this okay?

Hi Sharks 🦈,

Need some suggestions: My current company is on a layoff spree and 2 rounds are already done and I can foresee another round coming very soon.

While I am trying to switch to other companies, I’m not able to reveal the real reason from my side for the job change, as if I say, it’s because of layoff fears than it’ll reduce my negotiation power.

What other reasons can I give as I’ve just completed 9 months here and it’s too soon for any other company to take me in.

Got a 30% salary bump, via an offer for Senior Consultant S&O from Deloitte. Currently underpaid at EY Advisory. I'm MBA and this year is my promotion year at EY for Manager. What to do? Get demoted and move to D? Or counter at EY? Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think? I have built up a good relationship with my Partner and SMs at EY though.
