Thank you all for your patience. I do appreciate it. It turns out having a side project while running multiple proposals is a trifle challenging. That said. I’m posting a first subset of the rawish data. In all close to 500 people took the survey, but a majority were from the Big Four. Here is the data from Deloitte, EY, KPMG, and PWC. Insights to come! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1lN6JrxQfvA_MC4XFZ38G0ppQkBuxRv9mf88Y8NE2X2U/htmlview

Our hires out of UG are approximately 70K-80K base depending on market and focus area, MBA can also vary but are over 170k base.
Yes they are. smart work trumps hard-work all the time.
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
