Yeah, consultant at this stage seems a bit unnecessary. But it's also a business with high success rate and customer satisfaction. Kind of like placebo. Pretty good deal from the consultant's pov.
I also used levels.fyi they most certainly helped.
The consultant previously worked at both Amazon and Facebook. I was working at Amazon at the time, and got competing offers from Facebook and Google.
Even with the competing offers I’m very happy I spent $3k for the consultant. Lots of good drafts of emails ( I did still need to carry the email ), but lots of great advice about strategy, and about what buzzwords to say and to avoid, which company to talk to first and what number to ask for that would be very easy for them to hit.
We ended up pushing FBs offer up to the limit before triggering an escalation then sent that to Google to beat. I would NOT have done as well without them.
They even told me “FB is gonna try and pressure you with a time limited offer. The time limit is not real. Don’t feel the pressure.” Stupid info like this was itself worth the money.
