Were you at Big 4?

Started this year at 55, going into 2022 at 125. It’s really not that hard just learn to code

Started 2017 at 68k. Just accepted offer for 150k starting next week.

Switched firms and promoted, went from 60 to 125 in just under 3 years out of college

my base salary has climbed $30k in 2.5 years and I will get another base jump this upcoming May (at the 3 year mark). Add bonuses in and I’ve gained about 40-50% in TC.

I do think jumping jobs can accelerate earnings more quickly, and I think tech pays more too. But I have definitely felt rewarded for my efforts in consulting.

I have more than double my TC in the last two years

like

Much earlier in my career I went from $35k to $135k in 5 years, though that included 2 job hops to get that increase.

like

95k increase after 5 years from starting as a first year. Worth noting I switched from audit to advisory within the same firm.

like

I got a 20K bump this year. Had a few pay adjustments and a promotion. On track for a promotion next year, since my leader said I’ve been consistently outperforming higher-level folks in our market ✌🏾

like

Started at Accenture as L9 experienced hire with a salary of $133k. Got promoted to L8 after a little over a year and had a new salary of $153k. Got promoted to L7 after another year and a half and now my salary is $190k.

Non-consulting companies tend not to promote as often and their raises are generally less significant even when that happens.

Friend of mine was supposed to receive an offer (told verbally) from Deloitte and then just found out they are pausing on hiring the role. How common is that? Seems wildly unprofessional that none of the partners called and instead it was the recruiter conveying that news. At McKinsey, if that happened, the head of the practice or the office would personally make the phone call at the very least.

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.
