What should my realistic salary expectations be for apply for a Tier 2 (Big 4) firm? I’m coming from Booz, LA level, 13YOE at 190k base. I know this isn’t an easy jump and I’d appreciate any advice anyone out there can give me.

BS, MS, software background, spent most of my time in the DoD GovTech space.

Don’t expect any thing, do you know all big 4 doing lay-off and there is a hiring freeze already in place

Yes, I’m aware. Just planning once we go back to a pre-covid world.

$190K is above the Manager band at EY in FSO, so I’m guessing it’s maybe above by more in GPS (Gov/Public Sector).

What does LA translate to? Director? Senior manager?

If so, at least in the federal space, you’re pretty close to where I’d expect for that role. It can go up substantially, though.

Then I’d say doing better than average depending on geography 😂. I know for my group directors start around 210-250 and it can go up a lot.

If you're planning to stay fed, $190k is senior manager/director level pay as of when I exited a few years ago.

As a point of reference, I worked for both BAH and D on the fed side a while back. D most likely won't offer a promo (they're gung-ho about downleveling or lateraling at best), so I don't know if they can make the $190k manager math work out. Can't speak to EY/KPMG/GH on the fed side from personal experience, but I'd imagine it's the same there.

Is SA not on the table at BAH? Or are you looking for a change of scenery?

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
