2 years at BCG after an MBA - I’m sure you’re around at least 220k all in? doesn’t sound right - unless you’re in Europe?

Are you in the US? If yes that number seems wildly off base if you are 2 years post mba at BCG in a client facing management consulting role.

Salary is low, but you will have wlb. I came from Industry and used to work less than 5 hours daily.

Hi Guys,
Can anyone help me with an information on how EY INDIA provides variable to employees. I know it's 0-20%, so is it monthly ? or what kind of measures they consider in order to provide variable pay.
Also, suppose the package is 6 Lakhs, so can we say that the package is 600000 + 20% of 6 Lakhs = 720000. (As EY has 20% variable Pay)

Thanks in Advance !
