80K is low for an MBA hire

@EY5 this sounds like a UMaryland Smith MBA outcome.

Well did you get your MBA right out of undergrad? Where is your MBA from?

like

No it is not - an MBA out of a top program, recruited in OTS for example, comes in at approx $140k - in PI, its still six figures. Always depends on the program though and skillset. An MBA is also a means, not an end.

Depends on the MBA program. PwC has a list of schools that count for their "MBA-level" salary. MBAs from other programs are considered the same as any other Masters degree. Sorry to say, but you are probably getting paid what you would at another Big 4.

like

Likely Yes. Depends on your school. Any pre-MBA experience?

I think that's on par to be honest.

I came out of IU with 2 years of previous exp (before MBA) at 135 and a visa and a senior. Yes boo, you got screwed.

like

A top program wouldn't take you without requisite experience which is 2-3 years. So if you went to a top program that I listed - you got hosed. If you were there though - why was that your best or only option? - we gave a guy an offer like this but he was a 5 year MBA out of a top 25, but had no work experience as he had been an athlete and maximized his 5 yr eligibility - he was an exception. If you are in this scenario, then that would make sense but it doesn't sound like this is the case.

like

Yes, you were screwed. Look at your other options.

Part time I'm guessing.

Very badly

It's a top 25 MBA program from a state school. I was a career changer though... From healthcare to FS

It's not. Mba hires into advisory should be around $125k plus signing bonus but should also come in at senior level

That sycks

What program though? Top 25 is too general and if its a public school it should mean Ross, Darden, Anderson, Haas, UNC, UT or potentially IU - years exp matters too.

How many years of experience did you have before your MBA? And where did you go?

You're making me nervous Bc I'm applying to MBA programs now...

Wow. Big time.

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.
