Does anybody mind sharing salary progression at mbb without an MBA? Curious what one would be making 4 - 6 years out as a homegrown.

Each of the 3 firms has different progression and timing.

- BCG is 2 years to the post-MBA title of Consultant and 2 more to Project Leader (=M)
- McK is 2-4 years to EM (=M) without ever taking the post-MBA title of Associate
- Bain is 3 years to the post-MBA title of Consultant (with 1 of those years as SAC) and 2-3 more to Manager (with 0.5-1 of those as Case Team Lead)

Comp is agnostic of degree and TC for an PL1/EM1/M1 at any will be $250-310k.

<sticks thumb in the air>

Median/mode = on-track = low-end quoted here = Half of PL1s.

1/3 above, the rest below.

Really depends on individuals. It isn’t a forced distribution.

The shape is a bell with significant right skew.

Same progression. If you’re promoted to post-MBA role you get the post-MBA salary

I asked for a raise since I’ve been at my company for 1 year and because cost of living is up 6%. My boss recommended I hold off asking for a raise now and in 6 months he’ll see if I can get a promotion with a bigger raise bump.

He said even if I ask for a COL adjustment now it may make it harder to get the CEO to agree to a promotion in 6 months.

Thoughts?

Last year I moved internally from a

bonus. I was above cap in my prior
role and now my range is up to $138k
base. I'm being recruited to my old
team as a level 10
Manager with
same base/bonus as now but since it's
a lower level I will cap out within a

more interesting but limited in career
growth. Not sure what to do.

Not necessarily strategy related. But curious as to what other people in here usually aim for when building out a production team/equipment list for social specific content? I am the ops manager of a clothing boutique/retailer and I'm wondering if I should ask for us to hire a content creator or use that salary as a budget for content captures. We have a photographer on staff but he doesn't do much video, editing or vector/graphics and we need to up our vertical video efforts. Thanks!
