Does Kearney negotiate on base, or is it the BCG model of everyone getting the same and differentiation coming with bonuses? What's the base/bonus for a manager? Would asking for $200k + 25% bonus target be out of line?

Phone screen coming up and I want to be prepared; have no connections so can't use my network to get answers.

Base is tied to your cohort. In other words every MBA hire gets the same and every new Manager gets the same. The only potential negotiation is the level you come in at.

Differentiation is through bonus (stronger performance = more bonus) and how quickly you move up between levels. There’s more variation in how quickly individuals progress at Kearney compared to BCG or McKinsey.

I think ~$250k cash is a reasonable expectation for a Manager in the US. The recruiter can give you the details and breakdown of base vs bonus. This does not include the 10% profit sharing or 1.5% 401k match in your retirement account.

That's great information. Thank you for taking the time to write it all out.

Any insight on other comp and benefits? What kind of signing bonus could I expect? How are the health plans? Can people actually use PTO, or is it a struggle?

The role I put in for is technology transformation, not generalist; anything specific to know about that group?

Recruiter reached out to me for a M role at Kearney. $195k base and 35% bonus target. Cohort model for pay so that’s what you get.

What would base and bonus look like at the Associate level?
