Anyone know around how much is reasonable for a 3rd year consultant at BCG (or any of the MBB firms)? I can only find posts online for 1st year at ~$160K. I'm coming from a couple years as a manager in a specialized data analytics consulting role now shifting towards a more generalized M&A "typical consultant" role. I'd expect a minor title hit but not sure base/bonus salary-wise what this would translate to!

We don’t have 3 year titles for junior roles. Every 2 years you are promoted or fired

We don’t have 3rd year titles for any roles at this point. The only role you can be in for 3 years is MDP, and maybeeee Partner depending on election

Do you mean, you’re entering year 3 out of undergrad? Expect about $200k all-in for that year.

Ah I wasn't aware there was no third consultants. I'm ~3 yr post MBA as a manager at Big 4, just not as a general consultant (since I notice the analytics team always got underpaid relative to the general consultants so sometimes we were paid closer to a Sr Consultant equivalent rate).

Hi Fishes,

I have given my interview in HCL and cleared 1 TP, 1 hcl manager & Client TP and Client Manager rounds .
In initial screening HR told the generic statement of 30-40% and I have given my ask as 50% minimum. After clearing the rounds I heard from the project team that Client has given great feedback and wanted to take me in .
What is the % I can ask in HR Discussion and will they reject in HR if I ask more now .
I have 9.5 years total experience and role is Storage Architect.
Thanks

Industry imposter here…How do you show progression on your resume when your internal levels changed, but the title doesn’t indicate a promotion to the rest of the workforce. (e.g. a senior product manger to a technology strategist)…It seems like a lateral move unless you were internal and knew it was a level 7 to level 8.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
