What is typical day rate for an independent operations consultant? ~5-7 YoE, Western Europe, mostly working with (PE backed) SME industrials.

My sister is considering starting as an independent operations consultant, working with a few old partners of her current firm. She’d have 50-70% workload from those connections, and will seek additional work elsewhere (recruiters, etc).

Thanks!

General rule of thumb (as a non-partner): take your salary and convert it to a billing rate. Then quadruple it. That should be an appropriate rate or close to it.

Just finished my first year in audit. Recruiter reached out to me for a role with a 30% bump in salary. Total comp included it gets closer to 45%. I actually enjoyed my first year and especially being done with busy season now feeling pretty good. Not at all actively looking to leave, but just looking for advice on if I would be crazy for not pursuing an opportunity for so much more money at least a little further. Really what I care about is my long term career more than anything
