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.

All a lie, depends on which MD you work with

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

I’ve been working on heavy req loads and multi projects. But they are signing me up for a leadership program with a potential raise next year. Thoughts?

Hi fishies! Considering an internal big 4 move from Western Europe to Dubai. Not sure about WLB and whether there’ll be enough growth and learning opportunities after reading some of the threads here. Anyone up for sharing their experience? Especially concerned about sexism / racism as a WOC…and whether moving back to Europe in a few years will be difficult because the ME experience won’t be considered valuable.
