A firm structure with too many prospective billable hour/client time options, all of which collectively make up a total package, none of which is guaranteed so in summary, base is low to the point of making a serious pursuit of a mid- or senior-level career unattractive. Expectations are well set about the numerous elements of the interview process. The salary/comp model (reviewed during a call) for CM consultants is extremely complex and difficult to grasp: base, travel bonuses (?? per night away), overtime bonuses 2.7% or 5% of base calculated upon a % of base, then bonus of total contract amount at 6 month intervals then at 3 month intervals. I asked general questions salary trends for the 2 jobs I was pursuing at various moments of the Comp call and these questions were met with a 'that's hard to say' though when I asked about the # of consultants at the levels I was pursuing, this was <20. Data that any company has and an HR/Comp person should possess and be open to offering a $ range.
