ZS Associates About to enter final interview this upcoming week for strategy AC. Should an offer be extended, I'm thinking a range for negotiation is $120-$130 (given the market). 3.5 YOE and coming from another consulting firm. Is that reasonable? Should I anticipate signing-bonus as well? (Can't find recent info for this level elsewhere in fishbowl)

Also, for those later in their careers, what do you wish you would've negotiated more on earlier in your career (that isn't base salary)? Tysm!

What city? HCOL has COLA. Base should be 125-135, with 15k COLA in NYC (example) and 8-15% bonus (expect 9-10%) and 10-15k signing bonus

like

You’ll get that amount and more if you live in a HCOL area. Salary is based on YOE and level. Your asking is actually spot on for what you should receive

Hello Fishes,
I have 7+ yoe of running my family logistics business and have an international MBA. I was planning to switch to a new company. What position and CTC should I expect?

I had a great review and a 5.5% raise and a great bonus at my company. But I also got a new Director and a peer manager of mine left the company, so I will be absorbing her team. In addition, my director said I will be receiving 'deep delegation' from them. I don't mind more work, but deep delegation is a new term I've never heard. What does that mean lol?

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
