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.

BCG associate is equivalent to McK analyst. You are comparing apples and oranges here

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.

Not even a bit?

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