Depends on who you’re talking to. I won’t make too many hedge fund managers jealous. But I run circles around your typical summer intern.

Salaries for the most part stop at like 350k. After that its tied to company performance and non cash comp.

That's a funny question! I guess it depends on the people. If they are high earners, you'll have to make a lot more. But frankly, I don't concern myself too much with other people.

What others have said already. But if you want a number - $500k is likely most folks’ threshold.

Whatever you make + $1

That depends who you're hanging out with. I've known people who were jealous of just about anybody. And then there are the people who are insanely jealous of the super rich. Those are the ones who tend to get themselves in trouble, they can never have enough and there's a good chance they'll run afoul of some laws in their quest to have it all.

How would they know your salary?

$1 more than your smartest peer

Or if they’re not as good as you, the same salary

There will always be someone smarter, richer, better looking, in better shape, etc. why waste your time? Do you know the genetic odds of being born at all? You already won the lottery.

Less of a question, more of a request... stop asking your junior BIPOC strats to work on BLM briefs because they are the only voice of color on your team. In a time where we need support grappling with our very REAL realities and how it impacts how we show up in the agency, the LAST thing we need is an “opportunity” to express our “unique POV” on a diversity brief (that we won’t even get to speak to none the less). Imagine having to chanbel your trauma into a deck to sell in an idea to clients?

Curious as to how many deals at once is typical for a first year associate to take on (M&A, mostly private equity clients). Deal size is lower middle market and I’ve worked on deals ranging from $1-$110M. 2 deals at once is plenty for me, but it seems like my peers are able to take on more than that at once and still do fine. Maybe I’m just a slow learner/out of my league at the big law firm I’m at.

I spoke to a EY Recruiter today. She asked for my range for a manager role on the Federal side. I said 150-175 base. The role is in DC. She informed me that is more in the SM range and she would reach out if there was a SM opportunity she had available. I’ve been in industry for more than 10 years. I didn’t think 150-175 base was too high for a manager role with Big 4 in DC. I make close to these figures now. Am I going to take a pay cut coming from industry to consulting?
