The more senior you get the wider the range, especially if there’s no up or out. You’ll have bottom range for people promoted straight out of undergrad and top end for SMEs coming from industry with decades of experience.

Check out Glassdoor to understand more and hopefully recruiter can give you more realistic range based on your CV

$250k base for strategy is mid point

like

MCOL for a top level SM is typically around$250 + other comp, from what I hear.

like

Typically 5 year progression as a SM in path to MD or Director in management consulting. Year 1 typically in 200-220 range with incremental bumps over the next 4 years.

Average would be in the 230-250 range salary only. Strategy would be 10%ish higher.

like

It really depends what practice are trying to get into... strategy is at the top end of the range and operations at the bottom (very few onshore roles). If you are in consulting or technology you will be in the middle of the pack…
