Depends on role I think but for a experienced hire at SC (Band 7) for a high demand role like Data Scientists or Strategy Consultant should be $150-170 base. No bonus - they will tell you otherwise but it’s a lie.
My friend who works at IBM NYC said for band 7 it’s at least 100 and can range from 100-120 depending on your review and how well the practice is doing
Yeah it’s a strategy role, band 6 I believe.
Band 6 strategy will be around $72-$85k
Band 6 is Consultant, not Senior Consultant. That would be closer to 80-100k I think.
Gotcha I may be wrong then, definitely for a SC, would assume Band 7 then.
C1 - Depends. I know B7 Strategy Consultants and Data Scientist who make 155-160. They aren’t one-offs either. Depends on role.
Depends on the path to joining. Post-MBA salaries are close to what L1 mentioned. People who promoted from band 6 (undergrad hires) are in the 90-120 range depending on role, location, practice, etc.
I spend many years at IBM in NYC in different groups as a manager and practices really do vary.
- Different roles have reference salaries and ranges - e.g. Strategy Consultant, Data Scientist, SW Engineer, etc
- In Global Services with MBA, PhD, or experienced hire expect 150k plus for high demand role.
- Many internal groups will bump you to reference salary when you get promoted, regardless of previous salary. So going from 6-7 can mean going from 70k to 150k. Other groups might not do that.
Which groups/roles will bump you to reference salary?
