Even if you work from the home office all the time does it make sense to do consulting in the Bay Area and compete with tech folks? Seems like the big4 or MBB would never pay as much as tech 😕

I'd say pay is pretty comparable, or even higher... it depends on your level, obviously, and if by tech you mean "i work at Google" or "I'm employee #5 of a unicorn". It's different work though, and I'd argue hours are much longer in consulting even if you were local.

Also I would venture that pay differences are less dependent on location and more dependent on industry (in terms of gross income).

@BC1- entry level at tech companies is 6 figures + stocks. I don't think any of the consulting firms offer that, so unsure how you say pay is comparable or higher

Entry-level, sure. What's your progression though? Within 5 years post-MBA you'll be at what, 300k+ in consulting? I don't know if tech firms can offer that. If they do, great, by all means let's all join a tech firm :)

Not everyone is getting an MBA and I am not sure which firm pays managers 300k. Please provide me with a burner if Bain is doing so!

Ahh well then... managers after 2-3 years do make 300, and more as a principal. I'd imagine the rest of MBB is the same, therefore entry-level tech may be better but consulting has a better progression (and worse hours).

Hi all,

Hoping someone could advice on it. I recently accepted a job offer and it has been discussed and confirmed via email/phone that my starting salary is £26k and will raise to £28k after 6 months probationary period. Now, I have been sent the contract but there’s no specific statement about the £28k salary after probation.

It might be a stupid question but I am worried about raising this as an issue. Is this normal? Or is it better to ask for a revised contact with the specifics?

McKinsey: what is internal perception/reputation of your different practices? For instance, corporate finance practice is the most sought after but yields ~80 hour weeks, M&S practice is the most collegial, etc.
