Negotiating Salary KPMG

Mar 23, 2021 6 Comments

I’ve been interviewing with KPMG Advisory for the past month for a Sr Specialist role. I have a very niche background for a certain area of financial data which aligns to a new product in Advisory.

When they were about to make an offer, HR asked me my salary expectations. I told them my initial ask, which they asked if it was the minimum and I said yes.

HR extended me an offer last Wednesday for the minimum but my competing offer was $10k more. I went back to HR Thursday asking if they could have flexibility on the salary. HR raised it with the hiring team, but the rep told me he was surprised that I was asking for me because they gave me what I originally asked for.

For those at KPMG, did you negotiate your salary and if so, how long did it take for them to come back after your counter offer? This is my first time having the courage to negotiate salary and I am worried they will pull the offer. #consulting #salarynegotiation

    I asked them to raise it, they declined - I said no worries I have another offer (I actually did) and said I won’t move forward. Then they accepted it - this all happened in like 1-2 days. After they gave me the adjusted salary, the HR person said I had 2 days to confirm/sign lol

    Agreed that you should stand your ground. I think they’ll meet your offer if you indicate how you have another offer paying more

    Same thing happened to me. Found out I left $10k in base on the table.
