Entry level is entry level.

What is your value add as an entry level “consultant”, all you’ve done is read some text books so I struggle to see what a new hire would bring to the table. With no real world experience. Be grateful not greedy,

Manager 1 is just jealous. Reading textbooks is a lot of entry level jobs, actuaries read formula text books and make bank. Consulting is also value add to companies so they pay more for it than audit or tax. Ask what you think you should get and don't listen to people like manager 1.

If entry level is entry level why do I know people making anywhere from 35k-95k straight out of college

That’s the same as big4 audit there. Agreed on being low

No this is the best for col grads.

^thats true but consulting is consulting, not audit or tax

Manager 1 - I am grateful to have a job. Don’t call me greedy when the system is designed to confuse and screw people over. The way US companies brainwash people to think talking about pay is bad is a huge problem. Plus I’m just trying to find out what other firms start at. Your argument would be a different post. Way to derail the topic, but I guess that what managers do.

Colleague grad, what are you looking for?

Ey3 - I’m just trying to understand the market. I recently overheard another associate leaving to another firm entry level for $75k. Entry level is entry level, but $10k is $10k.

Always test the water yourself and go for the best, OP. Good luck!

Thank you EY3

Entry level with EY TAP was close to 70k in Chicago so yeah there’s market. Do what’s the best for you op.

Entry level is not entry level. You’re telling me a cybersecurity consultant should be making the same as a someone in advertising at entry level? Don’t kid yourself

I think Deloitte Advisory cybersecurity in similar COL is starting around $70k with signing bonus

OP, the answer is it depends. I'm in a midwest office (not chicago) and our EL associates are at 60, 68, and 70. It depends what experience / internships you have.

Side note if you're interested in cyber at RSM you should consider looking into the Cleveland East office. They were an acquisition but those guys seem pretty solid and the whole office is focused only on cyber.

Guys, I had very less HRA for April 2022 till August 2022. I was showing 1 lac annual rent .I joined new organisation in sept and now HRA is 43000 per month. Would that be okay to show high rent as 30000 per month to my wife as landlord. Earlier I was paying 9000 rs per month to different landlord. @ IBM

My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again. From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.
