Currently a business analyst/project manager with 10 YOE and an MBA making $122k at Booz Allen Hamilton. I commonly hear people at my firm say you can easily make $20-30k more by switching to Deloitte, but you’ll be expected to work crazy hours and enjoy considerably less job security. Are there any firms that offer more-competitive wages but don’t have terrible WLB? Accenture EY PwC IBM

Deloitte isn't crazy hours and it is good job security. I avg about 48-52 hours/week, and have been through two economic crashes with no issues (2008 and 2020). Yes there were layoffs but I actually think i have more job security than BAH - my friends there used to get 2 week letters when their projects were ending (this is after Carlyle group).

With your MBA + work experience you should get around 175 k at D

Your work life balance depends largely on your client and project. You should expect 40-45 hours for client work (GPS) and 2-15 hours for firm initiatives/business development any given week. For commercial you should expect up to 45-65 hours per week.

You should expect the bottom end for all of those ranges on average, and the upper end as exceptions during surge efforts.

Happy to provide a referral!

MBA is not from an M7 school. Virginia Tech. Was an in-person 2 year full-time equiv program (I did it part time over the course of 3.5 years). Comprehensive curriculum-wise and definitely not one of the online for-profit degree mills, but not very competitive to get into.

And there we are, us Europeans, starting with 80k and 65h/week after MBA lmao
35h/200k what’s this

Probably but saving rate is still much lower
Rent is ~800€/70sqm and I do fine with around 500-700€ for food and stuff. Leaves around 2k per month for saving. Hbu?
Prob higher saving rate no?
