6 years of management consulting experience what salary range should I be asking for?

I think this is probably more about what level you are currently at than just tenure in consulting. After 6 years I was an EM and I got an exit offer for $185k + up to 40% performance based bonus in a corporate strategy role (I was making $170k base). But if you are a sixth year analyst or something clearly that will be lower.

If partners like you and you have some sales experience 170 is not out of reach for a manager salary. I'm at 130 base as S2 without an MBA

Hold on EY 3. You're telling me you're making $130k base as a senior 2 without an MBA? I'd bet you came into the firm as an experienced hire. No way you're at that base as a campus hire at EY

Wait what? 170k base?! I knew I was underpaid, but good Lord 😳

170 at EY? At manager?

$170k is about right. Def manager level comp.

In advisory

@ey4 I started as a staff was not a campus hire but applied outside of campus hiring as EY doesn't come to my school. I have a MSc in math but that's it. Got lucky with the projects and teams I got on and just showed to superiors that I was an extremely hard worker

Still that comp is way out of the band for a senior

@ey2 I think it might only be out of the band for risk advisory

I know nothing about EY but at OW I think EM base starts at like 130k and goes up to 170k. That's in line with what I know about other similar management consulting firms (eg Parthenon-EY would be similar).

@OW 1. A senior 2 is in his fourth year at the firm. Is that comparable to an EM at OW?

It's s harder question to answer than one might think; it could be anywhere from a 4th year to a 7th year depending on speed of promotion, and you would usually stay an EM for at least two years before making Principal / AP.

I was doing some googling and I saw that PWC offers MBA hires 45k in comparison to MBBs at 70k +. Is this a bad joke? I can't imagine that PWC's target for MBA hires is widely different from MBB. In the US, the pay gap isn't that wide. Any reason behind this madness?

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
