What is Senior Associate at Big-4? Post-MBA level? If so:

MBB "Senior Ass." (Consultant/Associate) = GBP110K (TC, for average rating)
MBB Manager (Senior Mgr./Eng. Mgr./PL) = GBP 130-150K (TC, for average rating).

Makes me laugh that Deloitte partners can say things like ‘BCG/McKinsey/Bain just beat our bid’ - How tf can MBB ever beat big4 firms when they must have wage bills (and rates) nearly twice the size of ours.
