Would you take a significant paycut (30% or so) to join a tech firm in NYC vs staying in consulting?

My head says the financial hit would be too much but I am not planning on staying in consulting beyond another year or two.

Why KPMG does not mention variable portion in Offer Letter unlike Deloitte, EY & PwC ? How do we came to know our variables ? Please suggest.

Hi all,
What is the Pay band for Senior within the KGS FRM team?
YoE - 3.5years
Background- MBA

What is LPA location premium allowance mentioned in offer letter?? Is it variable part which we get end of year? Or will it be part of monthly salary?

FAANG product manager or stay at MBB (EM about 9mo away from AP; 8YOE w/ MBA)?

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good? I’m a CPA and originally got into this for a stable / interesting job, but in the long-term I’d like to do something that either influences drafting of tax legislation or helps the public (however naive that may sound). Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?

Looking to apply to MBB at 1-2 YOE after undergrad. Undergrad GPA isn’t bad, but not MBB quality. Will it help if I take the GMAT early and include the score on my app? How high is good enough? 750+?

Would ey gds renegotiate the package with just few days of joining..?

What will be the average hike % Promotion with HC rating staff (66) to senior(65)?

Is anyone currently studying for the CMA exam? Or passed the CMA exam? Im slowly losing motivation to study due to extreme burn out. I took the part 1 exam and failed by 20 points. This is part of why I’m losing motivation. Kinda feel like a failure. Have any tips for studying for certification exams when losing focus?

Dilute burnout through the winter with PTO or go all in on exit apps? Curious to hear how others are thinking about job security (in the event of a stronger correction), building traction at a new job (when you won’t meet your leadership team in person for a year), and stagnant comp (at places like Deloitte who aren’t concerned about retention).

Considering pivoting into a local MM IB. As my title suggests, my technical skills aren’t as honed as one who has focused on the analysis route. How much of being an Analyst at a smaller IB is technical skill heavy coming into the role? I hold my 7, 66, 24, and am not worried about getting the 79. Any input for how realistic this is? When looking at one particular firm’s career page it doesn’t mention technical skills or modeling once, which led me to believe it may be less important than soft.

My technology is Oracle apps technical with 9+ yrs of exp.

Trying to figure out if I should start as an inbound SDR, or try jumping straight into an AE role in SaaS.

I left mortgages at the beginning of the year to start a franchise business, it's now semi-self-sufficient so wanted to start a career again and I live in the Silicon Slopes area. Everyone I know is in SaaS or software engineering.

Just wondering if I should push my resume as far as possible and try to snag an AE role or take my time in a new industry and start from the bottom.

Are there good opportunities for a junior level consultant (2-3 years experience) to transition to an industry job in Healthcare? Is a masters (MBA/MHA) a must for the higher paying positions?

YOE: 11.5 Tech: QA Automation with Selenium-Java, BDD, API automation, Mobile Automation - Perfecto cloud, Appium All the 11 years I am with automation only. Is it possible for me to learn new technology and switch. Recently acquired AWS cloud practitioner certification which is of no use to me now as they are asking for exp. I wanted to move to devops role. But without experience no one is giving opportunity and they are considering my profile as QA only 😒

Hey folks, can anyone please tell me how much does a Senior Manager at Monitor Deloitte Dubai make?

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

Just got my first pet - Teacup/Toy Yorkie! (Wife and I have been wanting a dog and quarantine seemed like the perfect time to get one)

Was looking for Pet Insurance for him. PwC offers a 10% discount through ASPCA. Was wondering what pet insurance everyone else has and if any company is preferred?

Hi Fishes, Please share this bowl with colleagues and friends. Thanks 🙏.

I recently interviewed for a small strat consulting company (energy industry). I have 3 YoE and would be moving from engineering. the HR person asked me what my salary expectations were I was caught offguard and said I would expect it to be at least what I make now (around 100k). Im now worried theyll lowball me because I really shouldve asked for 120+bonus (I think this is market rate?) But they have salary bands they follow right?So if they pay consultants 140 usually would they offer me 100k?

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 31 and found this only because b school and post mba consulting job was/is much more challenging than anything I did before. What I'm confused about is that even as a teenager I could read entire books overnight. But the last two years of high school I started selectively zoning out and the problem has become worse since. I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)

What is the best consultancy for Media and Entertainment work? Considering a move…

Are the rumors about Deloitte acquiring BCG true???

Are Tier 2 firms worth it, given the ratio of brand prestige to WLB? For instance, if you have an offer from MBB but think you might not enjoy the long hours, sucking it up could pay big after 1.5-2y (due to the brand prestige). However, can we say the same for tier 2? Is it worth it to scarify WLB?

How are you all getting away with not giving recruiters a comp range? I turn the question back to them but most recruiters I’ve spoken to were persistent. “We have to put a number in your application”. *rolls eyes

Looking for ex-consultants who have existed in Finance & Accounting in Tech. Which teams/companies have reasonable compensation and 40 hours ?

Discussion post: I feel almost all consulting firms are the same. Mbb, big 4 etc. if you are paid enough there is probably less wlb. If there is good wlb there is not much money. Can you single out a company that you can confidently say pays very well and also has good wlb and also has good opportunities etc.?

Can we cut down on this WWIII hype already?

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
