It's not accurate tho. I very simple google search shows the average household income from the 2015 census was just under $56k. Folks on this app and in this career tend to be incredibly out of touch with reality and just how the rest of the country lives. Like I said in my initial post, with a 4 yr degree and 2-3 yrs of experience, making $50-60k is right in the ball park. Location and industry will have an impact. In consulting, plan to be in the $80-90k range after 3 years (performance rating will also impact this) assuming you started in the low 70s.
Yea, you're wrong, I never used your metric as the basis for saying ppl are out of touch. I did say it's 15% higher, which can be a huge relief for many families. The folks I refer to when I say out of touch are the snobby BAs that get brought in at over $70k and still complain about being underpaid.
For the MAJORITY of the working population, 50-60k is good for a standard 4 yr degree after 2-3 yrs in the workforce. Don't become to out of touch with reality and lose sight of just how well you're paid compared to most ppl.
At 25 I was making $10 an hour. You're fine op
Average annual income for all ages combined is $65k
"should?" Lol
You're ahead of the curve as you probably know but felt the need to post anyway to show off. Push for 6-8% increase in a non promo year or switch firms to get a 15-20% bump. Now stfu
Any 23yr old grad straight out of college at a top 10 consulting firm is within the top 10% salary band for recent grads.
You should make 100 before you turn 26.
It depends
It's not an article lmfao. It's a census report.
with no MBA
Just looked at the Bureau of Labor Statistics for Q4 of 2016. Average salary for 20-24 years of age is $27,456. For 25-34, it's $39,416.
Consultants are naturally competitive and compare one another but at the end of the day we are all successful and do better than most
I'll let it slide because you're probably a little out of touch with reality when it comes to social interactions
I'm making 85k base at 24, was wondering if I'm on track and what my goal should be for next year.
25, making 130k right now (cyber)
P2, how???
I'm wondering the same thing K1, that's the top of the Senior pre-MBA band which seems very unlikely for a 25yo
Left PwC a month ago for industry. Left at 110k
That makes sense then
Good for you though
