Hi,Would really appreciate professional advice...I have 10 yrs of IT exp in India and all of my exp has been in Delivery with last few projects having consulting flavor. I enjoyed the high and decided to pursue a career in Consulting given my technical background and my success in those projects. Recently interviewed with Deloitte UK for Con/SCon position in Technology Consulting. After 2 x interviews, assessment centre and 2 x telephone chats, an offer emerged for Con. They have offered me 50K incl benefits for London.Dilemma: I seriously think I am not ready yet to take up a MGR role in co like Deloitte which includes targets and sales pressure, however would want to at least retain my managerial grade with present org. Do cos like Deloitte have a technical growth path at all or one has to eventually take up a MGR role to be able to grow?Secondly, I have serious reservations about the package they have offered me and planning to negotiate for a SCon role. Can anyone pl guide about the salary range for this role?Thanks in anticipation,

50K gross/year is around 3K/month, rents in central London for a 1 bedroom appartment are more than 1K and you should also include council tax (would say 70-100 GBP for a single person), and various other expenses such as utilities bills and transportation expenses. I would expect your monthly dispensable income after all that being taken care of to be in the range of 1000-1500 GBP.

This is not a manager position, its a Consultant position so no need to worry about not being up to MGR standard

There's a whole other level between Con and Mgr....
