At what level does comp for MBA Vs non MBA level off? Got offer for $110k for senior consultant with 5 YOE and a masters. Was told it’s 150 for MBAs. Does this gap exist all the way until partner level?

Never; MBA will always be ahead and will make partner faster

It starts to even out at SM level. At Partner level (600k+) a 40k difference will be completely negligible anyway. Also- that seems slightly low for 5 YOE but maybe depends on what industry and type of consulting you do.

Depends on the company probably

I just got 110k offer for the same role with only 3YOE

At Kearney, it evens out after a year in a post MBA role.

I’m currently an associate, but am hoping to get VP this cycle. Any insight on what your comp looks like and how it’s structured would be super helpful!

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
