Had a path along those lines. BCG base pay is same for everyone by level, irrespective of personal pay history.

Thanks everyone. Contemplating move to industry currently to learn a new skillset and come back to consulting eventually. Having a hard time changing groups in consulting. Plus want the 9 to 5 gig for a year or two to work on health and side projects. Any advice? I feel like when I decide to boomerang I would be coming in at par or slightly higher base pay compared to consulting peers.

There has been a lot of inflation. 55-60 k was the norm a few years ago.

As a rule early career comp is better in consulting than anywhere else. No other industry pays $75k to first years, except if you are in banking or a fresh Stanford/Princeton/CMU/MIT CS grad.

2 years consulting then 4 in industry. Came back at 105- 7 years ago.

I did. The company paid me what other seniors were making. So no big jump.

Opposite experience, Started in industry at 75, came to consulting in 2 Years at 95

I left industry as a manager then went back at senior which is consistent - 1 yr at sr then was promoted to mgr

Bcg1 - you don't have different tiers based on cost of living region?

Started in consulting, went to industry for a year came back to consulting at 95k

EY2 how many years in consulting prior to industry move? Were you involved in similar kind of work in industry?

3 years in consulting prior and I did internal consulting in industry

@PWC2 Not that I am aware of

^ They pay 1st year Audit Associates more...

This was in 2010 when I a new hire

Audit pays the same in upstate .infact peopel start with 50.could be higher now
