Just in case you don’t know
McKinsey & Company Does level and/or office matter for referrals at McKinsey & Company? A friend is willing to refer at the Associate level in my target office though I did not get any traction w/ the referral last year. I'm a Veteran so I also recognize there may be a resume translation issue despite the prior version getting me interviews with BCG and Bain. I have updated the resume since - though still wondering if there's anything else I can do to strengthen my case. Thank you in advance for any advice.

Hi fishes! The hiring manager has asked me for salary expectations of B6 Data Analyst and my experience is 3.5 yrs with a CTC of 6.65. Considering I have to move to Bangalore l'm thinking of asking 13 or 14.. is it a big ask? If so, what do you think is a good ask? Please help. Thanks in advance :)

Anyone know about the culture at Braze?
New to Fishbowl?
unlock all discussions on Fishbowl.
It was encouraging reading this and knowing I’m not alone in what I’m seeing!!
Thank you for sharing this. It makes me feel so much better. Sometimes the bowl can get convoluted with people’s egos and crazy flexing. Thank for posting something real.
The price they have to pay than the skills you bring. The job market is great, but everyone these days has a marketable skill set so there’s tons of competition. Everyone thinks they’ll get a giant bump after consulting but that’s not the reality for the majority. I got a $3k raise.
Sharing this for those that think they’ll get a massive bump after consulting. Good for you if you do but I’d say you’re in the minority. And for those that get discouraged after one or two interviews don’t go their way. Don’t give up
BCG1: not trying to demean the value of it, but the one former product and delivery analyst at McKinsey I know said he felt like a second class citizen and ended up exiting the firm
My approach was to get at least close to my base pay. It’s surprising how much consulting pays (higher) and the only higher payers are tech cos like google, Facebook etc
Thank you for posting this!
Yes. As a M most jobs are at D level in mid sized firms paying $160-$170ish. I’m trying to look at firms with significant upside (RSUs, etc..) to make up for it. Makes me feel better to remember some of my B-school colleagues are still pulling low 6 figures
When I see my peers clearing that it makes me wonder what I’m doing wrong.
I'm in a similar situation. Would be an amazing long term opportunity but initially would have to take a $40k paycut.
Free time, happiness, and enjoying what you do are priceless
I had an offer that was 38% over my TCC from a non-target tech company. (I'm a manager). It was a one click apply on LinkedIn. They're out there! Don't give up!
I did not. NYC, manager, C&M/digital customer. I may change my tune after Monday, but a couple months out from turning it down and not a single regret. Offer was from a mid+ size SaaS/PaaS/social company. I didn't see a long-term life there, and I'm a long-term guy - and frankly, a corporate guy, too. For now, I'm just bored. Someone hire me and let me sell the shit out of your digital work?
Yes love all of these comments. I’ve had so many phone interviews with MBB and FANG, other companies and learning how to view rejection in a positive light
Really debating putting my resume out there so I can be home more
I think you consider the opp in light of whether it could take you to your next job. Money is something you’ll earn but if the trade off of lower money now equals better career progression and aligns to your interests, I’d think one step ahead
That’s a hard hit of reality right in the main deck
Thanks for this, interviewing is slow and irritating.
Not always true. My clearance level is very much valued in the DC area. Left Deloitte last year and received a 28% raise. I was being payed fairly.
D4 - why company do you work for now?
Outliers do occur, but on average I agree with OP
Yeah you take the exit for work/life balance not for pay bump based on what I’ve seen
