There is no minimum score, everything has a certain weightage (in some cases it is explicit in others it is not)

For example a friend has a 630 GMAT who works at McKinsey but at same time has very good experience (8 years in pharma and health care , lot of promotions, very impactful work)

On the other hand I have a 760 , 3.8/4 and very average work ex (no big name company, couple of promotions) and I still interviewed with M and landed a job at K

MBB folks, is it safe to assume that once you get the job then your compensation sets the base for the rest of your career and basically only goes up? This obviously excludes situations where somebody signs up for lower pay with a variable upside linked to certain outcomes, like startups.
