I’m currently finishing up my first year of employment post-MBA (~T10 program). Following b-school, I’ve been doing primarily ODD with some CDD work with a B4 consulting group. I have an interview coming up with A&M for a Senior Associate position in their Operations Group/Rapid Results practice (located in NYC).

Any idea what I could expect for base and total comp, coming in with 1 year post-MBA experience? My understanding is that base may be lower but that bonus is likely a lot higher than at my current firm. Management consulted lists $125k as base though, which seems low (even for someone straight out of b-school, though I’m not sure how that may be adjusted for something with a bit more experience)

like

1. Senior rate = $425/hour
2. Total hours in a year = 2000 (100% utilized)
Total collections = Total revenue = $425*2000 = 850k (100% collections)
3. Senior Associate take home % = 25-28% of total collections
4. Your potential total comp = 25%*850k = $212k.
5. Bonus = $212k - total annual base

Few assumptions that can change your comp:

- Collections %
- utilization %
- take home % based on your performance.

Hope this helps.

Have friends that work at A&M, my understanding is that they make up for lower pay by slotting ppl at manager if they have enougj experience. My friend was hired out of MBA at m which I think is closer to 140-150 base.

Low base but variable comp up to 40% for the very top performers. No SC level means pay bands seem disappointing compared to B4.

MBA doesn’t really matter at A&M, it’s more about YOE and your level coming in.

I have worked in marketing for about 6-7 years. First few years were in social media management. My goal is to work at a big tech company.

I’ve heard mixed results about the ROI of earning an MBA. My near future goal is to move into a Marketing Director (or senior manager) role.

1) How much does Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. value MBAs in the hiring process?

2) Anyone currently working at the companies above with only a BBA?

Current situation: Marketing Manager, 90k, NYC.
