Hi all - I work in management consulting as a facilitator. Currently with Korn Ferry, and I like it, but considering a move based on the pay being far below market value. Are there other management consultants here that love where they work? Good pay PLUS good work life balance?

Can say i have been with KF and currently have two other offers from other reputable firms with significantly higher base salary (20%+) and more clarity on bonus structure

Culture and work life balance is still TBD

Senior associates usually around 115-120ish

I went from KF to a tech company’s internal consulting group and got a really nice pay bump (40%!). I work WAY less (not that KF overworked me) too! KF was a great brand and experience to have. If you’re sticking with facilitation, it might be worth going internal but at a tech firm, pharma, or other industry that pays decent. Internal L&D (versus consulting) tends to be lower workloads. there’s lots of l&d hiring right now in response to attrition.

I was a consultant at KF, then senior consultant, and made <$100K base pay + bonuses in Chicago. I think at any other major firm an experienced but entry-level consulting role was at least $100K base.
