Can you negotiate an offer as a campus hire?
Can you negotiate an offer as a campus hire or do you need more leverage to do so? I am graduating this December and got an 2024 offer for CAD 75k at some tech consulting firm. However, the US offer is USD 75k (which is CAD 100k). Obviously, I won't ask for CAD 100k because the market is different,...

Hey WSO geeks, I was recently going through the application process at MBB and, when building my profile, tried to take inspiration from other profiles (i.e. what kind of organizations they are in, what schools they go to, etc.). And this was incredibly painful as you have to go manually through...

2024 FT Salary for Big4
For a campus hire starting Full-Time in 2024, does 70k sound normal, or too low? I am in Advisory, it was initially around 60 when I signed last year, then it got bumped to 70 recently. I suppose Audit is around the same, and Consulting around 80? Does that sound correct? Just want to have a grasp...
