I would be wary of thinking you will hit those numbers in Year 1 or 2. You'll need to build a network internally to get staffed consistently and also need some luck with engagements making it to the next phase for consistent billable hours. However, the upside is there and the numbers you saw were probably realistic for a top performer.
I would ask the recruiter about avg utilizations and what total comp is looking like at those levels to get a better idea.
This is the best answer. Recruiter will oversell, assume 80% utilization and a weak first year. However comp turns exponential after that with promotions and rate increases.
Big numbers is an apt description
Manager with ~$175k base and total comp around ~$350k with solid utilization. YMMV.
Probably 70-75% dependent on discounting and performance rating
Rising Star
Whatd you hear?
Rising Star
It’s a bonus-driven firm. If you’re well utilized you’ll make more here than elsewhere
Director is around 200-225 base with total comp 375-450. Heavy bonuses.
Yes, I’m PEPI. I would guess that new hire salaries are higher than internal promotes, but there is likely variation depending on your negotiation
Rising Star
Yeah
What are hours worked vs billed in PEPI? 70%?
