The BREAKDOWN on HOW Consultants get PAID: Salaries and Compensation for Consultants!

  • Опубліковано 2 сер 2024
  • This is one everyone wonders about but doesn't talk about. Even though I'm a technology consultant at Accenture, I do know the general structure of salaries and compensation for most firms after talking to many of my peers in other firms. I'm going to give a breakdown of what really makes up salaries and compensation for consultants, analyzing Management Consulted's 2021 Salary Report, go over some misconceptions about the salaries and compensation for consultants, and how you can raise your worth in consulting. This will not go over how to get promoted as that would make it a much longer video, but that video is coming up, so make sure to subscribe!
    Since I was part of a blue collar family, I rarely had the resources when it came to this realm and wish I had the knowledge I have now! I put all of my knowledge and research into this video for you so you weren't as lost as me!
    NOTE: A lot of my knowledge is specific to the US, but a lot of this still does relate across other countries, so take this with a grain of salt!
    The FULL Management Consulted's 2021 Salary Report: managementconsulted.com/consu...
    0:00 Intro
    1:12 What makes up the standard salary and compensation
    12:16 Management Consulted's 2021 Salary Report
    15:23 Misconception about salaries and compensation in consulting
    18:14 How to increase your salary or compensation

    I am also working at Accenture India as Technology consultant. The CTC usually varies for freshers from 6.3k to 6.4k usd per annum for associate and around 10k usd per annum for analyst. Luckily, I got placed as Analyst. If possible kindly make a video on promotion and provide some tips to get an early appraisal.

      Hey Brittney. The second round went well. I received an Offer!! There were two parts to the interview, the Technology Showcase and an Assessment. During the Technology Showcase portion, I took a deliberate approach to show I conducted extensive research on previous technologies and other data to support my idea without making it a total snooz fest lol. It also helped that the interviewers were former Military, they understand how we can can contribute to the organization as Veterans. They took time to make sure I was comfortable and actually got to know me throughout the process. My advice to you would be to prepare well and be yourself. You got this!

    Would you recommend to commit a pay cut and switch from accountant to tech consultant ? Thank you in advance !

    • @ChristineWong
      @ChristineWong  3 роки тому +2

      That’s going to be a personal decision for you, but first and foremost, try to negotiate your salary to see if you could get it higher. What I would also suggest is look into how much you want to become a tech consultant and the potential opportunities that will come out to potentially have a higher pay than your current accounting job. I would also look at how much of a pay cut is it and if you’re okay with the lifestyle that new pay would come (if it changes at all). If you can’t afford rent or mortgage or meet your financial goals with the new pay after salary negotiation, consider another tech consulting opportunity. One low paying offer should not deter you from a high paying offer, you’ll just have to put in the work. However, that low paying opportunity could open more doors to high paying opportunities. It’s your decision at the end of the day.

      Advisory always pays better than Audit/Tax. Shouldn't need to take a pay cut, should get paid more.

      @ChristineWong  2 роки тому

      I wouldn’t always say that is the case. If you’re at a boutique firm or a small firm or if it’s a different location with lower cost of living, levels, and many other factors can affect the actual salary. Even country.

    What program can I do to become a technology consultant

    • @ChristineWong
      @ChristineWong  3 роки тому

      There’s no exact program because Consulting is more like a shell and what you specialize in (industry or tech) is what you can do to build up your skillset and knowledge. Learning anything about the concept, business use cases, and technicalities (as well as how to do it if you are interested in the technical aspect) as well as the soft skills with communication, leadership, teamwork, networking, client facing skills, etc. This playlist goes into how to become a tech consultant! ua-cam.com/play/PLibY-3NAtJvEjbuvbqswWm55yH2a01LKT.html

    If an individual has a masters what would be a good salary starting out ?

    • @ChristineWong
      @ChristineWong  8 місяців тому

      It can vary so much! If you’re going for tech consulting, it might be lower than strategy consulting but even the firm matters too. Tech consulting could be higher starting pay at a big firm than strategy consulting in a smaller lesser-known firm. Region matters a lot too because salary does differ even from city to city. What type of consulting are you looking for and what region? I would start from there. Plus, how many years of experience? Sometimes with masters, you don’t get it immediately after ungrad but you get it a few years after, so that has to be factored in too!
