Okay thanks C1 - I thought they were playing me but that’s how much consultants make in the west coast so I thought it was a mind fuck. Thanks!

150 base 5% psrf up to 16% bonus 10k signing, but signing depends if there is relo attached

Also these are easily Glassdoor/googleable BCG pats uniformly across US I think

You probably are, notoriously lowball

Wait up to 16%? Only 5% psrf? I might be missing something, but ATK pays better at the post-mba level

OP—you’ve been in consulting for 2 years? What firm is making you that offer?

Congrats—take it! That’s a great salary for your level of experience

I definitely wasn't making that much as a 2nd year... that's awesome

Yeah I mean I always ask for more than the original offer so do that if you want to squeeze a few more $$s out. But I would def be happy with that.

As a C1 (2 years experience) at Deloitte Chicago I made 90 +15k performance bonus

I have an interview for an in house position (only attorney) at a small non-profit focused on conservation easements. I am a transactional associate at a mid sized law firm. The prospect of freedom from the billable hour and contributing to meaningful work are the draws. The cons are that while the salary at the non-profit would only be slightly less than what I am making now, pay increases and opportunities for advancement will be much less than where I am now. Thoughts on making the shift?
