Are B4 consulting salaries really any lower per hour than MBB or T2? I work from 8-4/5 every day and only have a couple hours of overtime a month compared to 80+ hour weeks. 1/2 time = 1/2 salary?

I worked way more hours at Deloitte during my 5 years there than I have at McKinsey (2 years, working an avg of 50-60 hrs a week). My friends at PwC are definitely not logging off at 4/5 everyday and that’s a reason many left. Your mileage varies widely within each firm.

Definitely not in my team - we are focused on work completed and impact made, not hours spent. Good insight into other parts of the firm though.

Interesting point, following...

Depends on your project. I’m working 40 hours a week so my per-hour might be the same, but definitely some B4 projects are 60-70 hours a week and but they don’t get paid more per hour than T2/MBB.

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work. Do you guys think it’s easier to land a higher salary when applying externally rather than internally? Also this is for a territory sales management role. They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?

Thing is for me it *IS* about me. The employer is just a vehicle for me to have the lifestyle I want. Why can't we be real about why we want a job? I want to be stimulated by what I do and be paid well. If a job isn't increasing my market value and doesn't pay well I'm gonna wanna to leave. What can I say, I'm a bad actress.
