It is directionally in line with the reality. Big 4 definitely pay much less ( 70k-110k) at Consultant level than MBB ( 150k+) in Canada.

like

Does this control for level? If not, this isn't that helpful.

But yes, in general, big 4 does not lay well compared to MBB/Kearney/Oliver Wyman in Canada, so this isn't directionally wrong. The specific data points just aren't useful.

Nope. The only surprise for me is EY more than Deloitte/PWC and Ow lower than ACN.

There’s no way associates/junior consultants are making over $100k as an average/baseline.

The roles don’t line up. Associate at McK = Senior Consultant at D and we are def paid more than what is listed on that graph.

Yup, heard it. However, not sure why it is less.

Nope. Came from a big 4 and the MBBs make you work for that increase in comp. Also like many have mentioned, a consultant at Deloitte is equivalent to an analyst at McKinsey at best.

The number for OW is for entry level consultant instead of SC or Associate

We have a 2100 billable req which I’m barely hitting. We also get paid below 6 figures. I learned that the new associates came is at least $10k over us. I graduated 2020–but 1st firm job. Advice?

So had my first interview in one of the big 4 but it got me completely off guard. First one was call screening and then a technical interview. Now what I didn’t expect is rather than technicalities they focused on the consulting a lot more. Now the role that was marketed was technical/Architect and they even said that in current capacity you’ll work here as a technical person. I don’t think it went well. Coming from a technical background I was hoping for coding .
Is it always like this?
