Iam guessing much higher than PWC. Almost 50% higher.

PwC1.... where on earth are you getting that % from?
Answer is higher, but how much so likely depends. I'm MBA and friends at McK were 10k more at start this year.... so ~7% more.

P2 that's assuming that OP is MBA etc etc. A senior associate salary in PWC could be 80-90 k as well. So with out the specifics and considering the lower end of salary for both companies. The difference could be 50 k as well.

If "senior consultant" means post MBA, I'd assume ~$200k per year (similar to BCG)

I'm a first year senior without MBA and I make 99. All seniors make 90+ at absolute minimum

Comparing McKinsey to PWC are two very different beasts. Also need to align on title and job. I think there are lots of PWC folks here who are actually aligned to audit and tax so comparing a state school "senior" from PWC to a strategy person from MCK is tricky.

Exactly correct, A1. Not a huge difference (7%) for MBA strategy for PwC target school (FS, HIA, CIPS/TICE). Others are likely different.

To the OP you need to understand the MCK has a totally different career model than PWC. A senior consultant at MCK is post MBA from a top tier B school and they are entering with a salary close to $150. Sometimes slightly lower or higher depending on geography and past consulting experiences. A senior associate at PWC typically has between 3 and 5 years of of consulting/audit/tax experience and joined right out of school with a bachelor's degree. These are two different beasts. A PWC senior associate should be between 80-100k.

I'm a PwC senior with an MBA and make 135K, this is my first year. Based on Accenture 1's reply it seems McKinsey pays around 150K. Is that the starting salary for all seniors?

Wouldn't S&'s mba hires be more comparable?

So the base is the same but I guess the bonus is probably very different
