At what point in the process do you bring up salary negotiations as a junior hire in MBB/Boutique Consulting?

E.g., is it a good idea to raise it on the initial phone call with the job offer? Should I wait until the contract is sent over and email asking for a call to negotiate?

Wait until you receive the written offer, then email the recruiter to request a follow-up call to discuss questions, including compensation. Pay is standardized at many companies, so not much room for negotiation, but there are other options on the table.

Thanks, will follow this approach.

Usually you don’t bring it up until after you have a formal offer. The initial offer call is more of a “here’s the package + we’re excited about you” convo, not a negotiation. Best move there is to thank them and say you’ll review everything.

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense
