Hey peeps!

First year consultant, in the Human Capital offering. I feel like my current employer is underpaying me at 110k base (14% bonus) - I have a masters, multiple WD certifications, and will be pursuing my MBA in a few short months.

Curious what other HR/HC Consultants make at other firms?

Your comp is fair based on your YOE and the fact you’re an entry level consultant.

Not an assumption by any means, just curious other consultants experiences at their firms for continuing education.

Underpaid if 4 YOE
Overpaid if 2 YOE

*Consulting YOE, industry would be closer to 5/3

3 years industry experience prior to consulting. Worked in tech and staffing sectors

That’s quite high for a first year consultant. From my experience, the range is closer to $70-$95k. It’s also worth noting that some firms do not care about a masters degree, unless you are talking about a top tier MBA. In the case of the latter, you often still need to join through campus recruiting to receive the top tier mba compensation. I’m curious to hear what others think.

Do I tell someone at my firm? Don’t want to offend SP or cause drama, but I’m concerned.
