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.

Does anyone know if this is normal? I joined a vault 100 firm in September last year. The firm put me on tier 7. In January I had the associate review and everything was normal. After a couple of weeks, I got the call from the hiring partner telling my bonus and new salary (because of the firm-wide salary increase). I realized I still get paid as a 7 year associate. The partner said because I joined the firm later in the year, it’s normal not to advance in the next year. Is it? Thanks!
