Are these salaries for real?
I just looked at the compensation listed in the wiki and could not believe my eyes. Almost $100k for a fresh, inexperienced college kid? Almost TWO hundred thousand for an MBA?
I worked in management for almost 9 years and barely peek over $100k. The thought of some kid making that is absurd.

I’m 5 years in and my trajectory was:
1: 60k
2: 72k
3: 88k
4: 140k
5: 179k

This is all base, before bonus, but consulting bonuses suck anyway ~5-12%

I’ve been at Deloitte EY and KPMG. The 3 to 4 jump came from moving firms. I was at 140 at senior 2.

Yep- 5 YOE with MBA: $235k base approx 40% base. Best thing I ever did for myself was get that MBA.

How do you see the wiki

Yeah they’re real

I’m at $175k base at the MBA hire level. 25% bonus

It’s even wilder once you realize the fantastic margin the firms make on the analysts’ / associates’ billing rates, even with the salaries.

But ultimately, there’s just more competition for top talent these days, which has had upward pressure on salaries accordingly.

Well make the move then

Me! I make 105k and graduated college in 2022. Definitely don’t deserve it lol
