I have recently joined EY SaT group as senior consultant recently in Netherlands. I’m tripple masters in MS economics, MBA and MS business analytics. Have 4 YOE in different industries but no M&A experience specifically. Any ideas what company should be offering me? I’ll be working as expert on commercial due diligence, FDD and valuation teams and doing automation alongside. is it wise to demand higher salary or promotion soon after I have proven that I can work and do it better than most?EY

I’ve put myself up for L4 promo this cycle. Assuming I get it, what would be the best next steps to optimize for long-term growth/TC?
My understanding is that L5->L6 is extremely painful at Google. It may be easier to leave for a handful of years and gain managerial experience before returning.
L4->L5 is less challenging; however, I’m under the impression I can do this quicker at another company (if I leave after being freshly promo’d) AND get higher TC.
TC: 270K

If you were at MBB for the 5 years before MBA you’d have a fighting chance for an L5 if you knock every interview out of the park. Probably L4 though.
As a hiring manager this is the most accurate answer in this lot. EMs from MBB come in at L6 (or L5), depending on level of desperation on either side of the hiring
Coming out of mba fresh, with 5yoe before MBA, and getting to 7 by counting business school plus an internship as yoe? That could be L4. This could barely be L5, rather than solid L5. So many applicants are applying to L5 roles with 10-15 yoe that 5-7 would be rough.
If the initial job posting looks like a L4 is it possible to be up leveled to 5
You can ask, but you have to ask upfront bc then you’ll get a different criteria for interviews
5 unless you've a few years as EM
4 or 5.
Likely L4 or possibly L5 but many L5s have many many more yoe.
You should get 7 years of experience and a MBA to be a safe bet for a 5.
