At Mckinsey, yes. It is standardized based on role, tenure and performance evaluation. Bias can typically creep in at performance evaluations and the feedback received but base is mostly objective. This is not the case across the industry from what I’ve heard.

Same at ACN

Salaries aren’t the same in general, so why would it would be in consulting?

Same at OW based on a specific role, level and country. There is a grid for base and bonus (bonus depends on your performance outcome but for a woman and a man starting from the same level and having the same perf they will receive the exact same bonus) which is officially not public but people share their salaries around so everybody knows what they should have. I think it’s pretty fair.
Of course you can have bias in promotions / perf assessment but when I look around me men and women seem to be promoted equally (have been based in Europe and Asia, don’t know about NA)

Yes ratio is bad overall and depends of the geography (way better in Europe than Asia). They have committed to improve that, let’s see if they can retain more women!

Hello All, Office Sup. for a major hospital, w/ 15 years experience. I have lots of experience in every position in the office, especially in training. I recently applied for an EPIC trainer position within the company and according to Glassdoor the average pay is about 23k more than what I currently make. I’m afraid of getting a lowball offer since 1. they obviously know my current salary and 2. I’d be new at this particular role, although I meet qualifications. Any advice if that’s the case?
