After graduating MBA and joining EY as a Senior Consultant within Business Consulting, how many years can it take to make Senior Manager if I keep performing in the top quartile ? And what salary can I expect to draw once I make Senior Manager?

5 or so would be pretty fast. For salary maybe 225 or so once you make SM.

Thanks EY1

2 years post MBA to Manager, 3-4 years as Manager to Senior Manager is pretty typical.

Not sure what MBA seniors start at for Business Consulting but assuming it's 140-150k, 250 as a 1st year SM sounds reasonable.

Cool, are you starting in September?

5 or 6 years is pretty standard.

Depending on performance and cost of living, salary as a first year senior manager might be anywhere from $170 to $210.

Also, would factor in that pay band and target salaries grow each year. If you're modeling things out, a conservative assumption would be to assume 2% you growth

$170-$210? MBA Srs come in $150-170. Seems low.

Ahh ok. Helpful.

Any strategies to make manager after first year as an MBA senior ? I have substantial pre MBA experience if that helps my case (non consulting though )

Most of the people I have seen do it are either prior consultants, or people who fall into running a project that was identical to one they did in industry.

The reason it typically takes 2 years is that in the first year, you are learning basic consulting and firm navigation skills (how to communicate with clients, how to manage clients, how to run work streams, how to interact with leadership, where to get material and how to leverage it, how to work across service lines, how to do all the quality and economics activities for proposals and delivery...).

They are pretty hesitant to promote people without proof of sustained performance (i.e., not just on one project) in many of these areas.

Hi fishes,

The rumors about PwC KSDC changing the bonus/hike payout cycle from July to an earlier month between March and June are picking pace. If there is any senior staff, or member with credible information on this, please share your 2 cents. The suspense is killing me, and I am sure many of you echo my sentiments here.

So far, I have heard:
- March
- May
- June
- July but with salary effective from April (paid as arrears in July). Something similar for June as well.

Hi all, was hoping for clarity on offers from FANG/Tier 2 tech I received recently. Base pay is still within range of 130-150K, but equity components have dropped dramatically. For reference, for similar positions, I was receiving grants of 150K - 200K over 4 years for data analyst positions (4-5 YOE) in Aug’21-Feb’22. For personal reasons, I did not accept these offers. Now the equity grants are coming in like 50-70K over 4 years. Is this market wide for non SWE/PM roles due to stock market?

Has anyone ever posted a general marketing position? We have an open position on our marketing team but we are unsure what type of position to offer. We have a wide variety of needs but don’t necessarily need to have this future person have all these skills. For example we need someone with great copywriting skills and also need someone who is great at digital marketing. This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.
