Seems very low. I would consider 170k base the floor for a true M role at a credible strategy firm.

That seems low given what I know about COL in Seattle, I feel like at your level of experience and manager level you should be punching 150 at a minimum boutique or non boutique

For an M I feel the bonus % is incredibly low; am I off on that?

I’m a 1st year SA with 2.5 YOE out of undergrad and my base is $148k. This is in a LCOL tier 3 city. With that being said, you are drastically underpaid

Super low, I've been offered a senior analyst role for $110k and a consultant position at Slalom for $130k. I only have about a year and a half of experience in consulting, you may want to consider looking at other firms.

Very low.

It sounds low, but there are a lot of factors. You could definitely make more somewhere else.

It's a marketing firm, right? Does that affect the context?

One of my friends works as a Director in Nagarro. She has been there for 7 years and has a CTC of 42 with total yoe 17. Per current trend this is low even though she is a constant top performer. She says that even though delivery people play a pivotal role, they are not paid well. In her team, she sees technical people earning 45-50 at 10-11 yoe. So the factor is 2.5 for delivery vs 4.5 to 5 for technical roles. Per her, this is quite common in Nagarro & she is not an outlier. ctd in comments

The question is, is graduation from law school, not minimum competency? With this line of reasoning we are saying that law schools do not produce competent future lawyers, so should we instead switch to a system of taking the bar without the three years of a measure that frankly bar associations have deemed not an adequate measure? Dash this comment aside if it is fallible, but there is something here that has been overlooked. Competence is not regurgitation and memorization.
