That's higher than normal PL2 base... and there's no such thing as PL3. So yeah, prob doesn't get any better. I assume he'll end up lockstep once he hits Principal.

like

That's higher than PL2 salary and slightly lower than P1 salary. So either something is screwy, he is looking at a non-standard position, or he is misunderstanding what is included in the base. That looks about right for base + signing bonus for a PL.

Can I come with? 😭

Same as everywhere else. Lower than your BIL got. It'll be a small jump (in base) to Principal, instead of a moderate one. It's a good/competitive offer vs. relevant benchmarks. Not surprising that we wouldn't lowball.

Wouldn't be weird for a lateral to come in above scale and then level out in a year though. That's my guess here.

BCG1, what's the usual PL2 base in SF?

In any case, all BCG salaries are totally standard. No negotiating salary. May be possible to negotiate other stuff (signing bonus, relo, tenure etc)

What M1 asked - what are PL1 and PL2 salaries? Is it up or out after that?

What's the bcg promotion ladder for titles? Never heard of project manager where does that fall

Op - what role is he moving from? Does BCG hire laterals at PL level? I thought they make you start at consultant level (post MBA role) if you are not already MBB

Yes we hire laterals at PL level. Consulting experience helps.

How old is your brother in law?

Is PL the equivalent of M or SM? Curious to know the progression at BCG At D it's BTA>C>SC>M>SM>P/D

I'm surprised to here we're bringing lateral PLs in to the west coast system - thought we were heavy there...

@SA1 usually you lose a level if you're non mbb
