I made 30k coming out of undergrad as a lab researcher. Got a masters and was making 75k by 25. Got an MBA at 28 and was making 200k in consulting. Stayed until 35 and left making 400k. Now making 500ish TC at 35.

That makes sense

Joined McKinsey as an Associate when I was 29/30 (post MBA), where comp was around 130K I think?
In the 10 years since, I made EM, AP, Partner at McKinsey and even left.
I am now early 40s making over 1m cash annually and long term compensation in the 8 digits. So yeah, would say I have been lucky with a pretty steep increase during my 30s.
Are you in an investing or operating role within pe?
This is insane. I feel so behind as a 32 y.o. my salary has grown from 65k to 160k since i decided to join consulting 6 years ago. What job can pay me $250k+? With limited raise due to covid, it will take me forever to get there.
Yeah, I returned through GSAP but still think you could be pushing closer to 180 as an M2. We are hiring a lot of exp hire non MBA Ms for hire than 160…
